Abstract
Provided herein are products and methods for making structures having a body defined by a carbon nanotube (CNT) pulp network having a long-range connectivity exceeding a percolation threshold of the structure to permit electron transport throughout the structure, an active material dispersed within the body, and a binder material binding the active material to the CNT pulp network within the body.
Claims5
A method for forming a nanoscale silicon layer on CNT pulp comprising:
- placing a quantity of the CNT pulp in a Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) reactor;
- flowing silane gas over the CNT pulp within the CVD reactor;
- and
- heating the CNT pulp in order to coat the CNT pulp with a nanoscale layer of silicon
- wherein the CNT pulp comprises a 3-dimensional extended network of interconnected carbon nanotubes each having a length of more than 1 mm.
