Abstract
The present invention relates to a sheet-shaped heat and light source. The sheet-shaped heat and light source includes a carbon nanotube layer and at least two electrodes. The at least two electrodes are separately disposed on the carbon nanotube layer and electrically connected thereto. Moreover, a method for making the sheet-shaped heat and light source and a method for heating an object adopting the same are also included.
Claims15
A sheet-shaped heat and light source comprising:
- a carbon nanotube layer consisting of carbon nanotubes, the carbon nanotube layer being exposed to an oxidizing gas and capable of generating a temperature in a range from about 50° C. to 500° C. by applying a voltage in a range from about 10 volts to about 30 volts;
- and
- at least two electrodes separately and directly attached to the carbon nanotube layer, and electrically connected to the carbon nanotube layer,
- wherein the carbon nanotube layer consists of a hundred of carbon nanotube films overlapped with each other, a length and a width of each of the carbon nanotube films are both about thirty centimeters.
A method for heating an object by a sheet-shaped heat and light source comprising:
- providing the sheet-shaped heat and light source comprising:
- a carbon nanotube layer consisting of carbon nanotubes, the carbon nanotube layer being exposed to an oxidizing gas and capable of generating a temperature in a range from about 50° C. to 500° C. by applying a voltage in a range from about 10 volts to about 30 volts;
- and
- at least two electrodes separately and directly attached to the carbon nanotube layer, and electrically connected to the carbon nanotube layer;
- disposing the carbon nanotube layer of the sheet-shaped heat and light source to a surface of the object;
- and
- applying the voltage in a range from about 10 volts to about 30 volts between the at least two electrodes of the sheet-shaped heat and light source to heat the object
