Vertically aligned ZnO nanorod core-polypyrrole conducting polymer sheath and nanotube arrays for electrochemical supercapacitor energy storage

Nanocomposite electrodes having three-dimensional (3-D) nanoscale architecture comprising of vertically aligned ZnO nanorod array core-polypyrrole (PPy) conducting polymer sheath and the vertical PPy nanotube arrays have been investigated for supercapacitor energy storage. The electrodes in the ZnO nanorod core-PPy sheath structure are formed by preferential nucleation and deposition of PPy lay...

Surface properties of vertically aligned carbon nanotube arrays

This study focuses on the structural changes of vertically aligned carbon nanotube (CNT) arrays while measuring their adhesive properties and wetting behaviour. CNT forests grown by chemical vapor deposition with a height of ~100 μm, an outer CNT diameter of ~10 nm and a density of the order of ~10 CNTs/cm show an average adhesion of 4 N/cm when pressed against a glass surface. The applied forc...
