Claims11
A three-dimensional structure comprising solid carbon having carbon nanotubes (CNTs) dispersed therein, said solid carbon with said CNTs dispersed therein being formed about three-dimensionally ordered spherical voids arranged in an opal-like lattice, said solid carbon being generated by carbonization of a carbon yield material having said CNTs dispersed therein.
A three-dimensional structure comprising solid carbon having carbon nanotubes (CNTs) dispersed therein, said solid carbon with said CNTs dispersed therein being formed about three-dimensionally ordered spherical voids with each of said spherical voids in communication with others of said spherical voids adjacent thereto, said solid carbon generated by carbonization of a carbon yield material having said CNTs dispersed therein.
