Carbon nanotubes nwere otu mgbidi (SWCNT ma ọ bụ SWNT) bụ ihe mejupụtara carbon carbon.Enwere ike iwere ihe owuwu geometric dị ka otu oyi akwa nke graphene curled, na ihe owuwu ahụ na-ekpebi akụrụngwa.Ya mere, carbon nanotubes nwere otu mgbidi nwere ọmarịcha eletrọnịkị, igwe na arụ ọrụ.Arụmọrụ, carbon nanotubes nwere otu mgbidi nwekwara nkwụsi ike nke kemịkal.

Enwere ike iji tubes carbon nke nwere otu mgbidi maka ndị nwere nnukwu ikike:

A na-ekpebi oke ike nke echekwara na igwe eletriki okpukpu abụọ nke capacitor site na mpaghara elu dị mma akọwapụtara nke efere electrode nke capacitor.N'ihi na carbon nanotubes nwere otu mgbidi nwere mpaghara elu nke kachasị ukwuu yana ezigbo conductivity, electrode kwadebere site na carbon nanotubes nwere ike ịbawanye ikike nke capacitor okpukpu abụọ eletrik.

Dabere na njirimara nhazi nke carbon nanotubes, ọ nwere nnukwu mgbasa ozi na mmiri mmiri na gas.Carbon nanotubes na-echekwa hydrogen site n'iji njirimara nke mgbasa ozi anụ ahụ ma ọ bụ mgbasa ozi kemịkalụ nke hydrogen n'ime ihe nwere nnukwu ebe elu na oghere oghere.
