Ama-carbon nanotubes anezindonga ezimbili asetshenziswa njengabathwali be-fuel cell catalyst.

Amafilimu anezindonga ezimbili ze-carbon nanotube anezakhiwo ezinhle kakhulu zikagesi nezokubonwayo, ngakho angamiselela i-ITO.Indlela yokukhipha ama-molecule amanzi nama-oxygen molecule akhangiswa kwifilimu ye-carbon nanotube enezindonga eziphindwe kabili nge-laser irradiation isetshenziselwa ukwandisa ukusebenza kokudlulisa ukukhanya kwefilimu, futhi ukuthuthukiswa kokusebenza kokudlulisa ukukhanya kwandisa ukusebenza kahle kokuguqulwa kwamandla kwe-double- iseli yelanga ye-carbon nanotube enezindonga.

Ngenxa yokuthi ama-athomu e-carbon ku-carbon nanotubes athatha i-sp2 hybridization, uma kuqhathaniswa ne-sp3 hybridization, ingxenye ye-orbital ku-sp2 hybridization hybridization inkulu uma iqhathaniswa, okwenza ama-carbon nanotubes abe ne-modulus ephezulu namandla aphezulu.

Ama-nanotube ekhabhoni aqinile njengedayimane, kodwa anokuguquguquka okuhle futhi anganwetshwa.Phakathi kwezintambo eziqinisiwe ezivame ukusetshenziswa embonini, ibizwa ngokuthi "i-super fiber".
