Carbon Nanotubes (CNT) are one-dimensional nanomaterials made entirely out of carbon atoms. The theoretical electric current density of metallic CNT is estimated to be ~ 4×10^9 A/cm^2, which is 1000 times higher than that of copper. CNT possess exceptionally high Young’s modulus of over 1.2 TPa and...
