Aligned carbon nanotubes (ACNTs) have very unique properties that made them applicable as electrode material for energy storage devices. ACNTs were grown directly on substrates by catalytic chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Cobalt, thermally-oxidized aluminum and ethanol were used as catalyst, cataly...
