Ma ke ʻano he ʻano mea kalapona hou me ka hoʻolālā kūikawā, nā nanotubes (CNTs) maikaʻi loa nā ʻano mīkini a me nā waiwai electrochemical a ua huki ʻia ka nānā ʻana i nā ʻano hana like ʻole.

I ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā pā lithium, i ka wā e hoʻohana ʻia ai nā nanotubes carbon e like me nā mea hana conductive, ʻaʻole hiki i kā lākou ʻōnaehana ʻoihana kūʻokoʻa ke hoʻopili pono i nā mea ʻoi aku ka ikaika, akā hiki i kā lākou conductivity uila maikaʻi loa ke hōʻemi i ka impedance. Eia kekahi, ʻo nā nanotubes carbon me kahi lākiō hiʻohiʻona ʻoi aku ka nui o ka ʻāpana kikoʻī. Ke hoʻohālikelike ʻia me nā mea hana conductive maʻamau, pono nā CNT i kahi mea liʻiliʻi o ka hoʻohui e hana i kahi ʻoihana conductive kiʻekiʻe ʻekolu-dimensional pono i ka electrode a hoʻokō i ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i ka nui o ka ikehu pākaukau.
