Black paper
Flexible carbon nanotube paper is now available for use in high-tech electronics
In Short
- Chemists cross-link carbon nanotubes to form thin mats
Black is the new white in paper. However, this paper is not for writing. Carbon nanotube paper represents a potential new phase for these materials as they find application in the development of flexible electrodes and batteries. In this article we discover how this is being done. But first we have to go back to the basics.
