Ngenxa yesakhiwo sayo esiyingqayizivele, ama-carbon nanotubes anezindawo ezinhle kakhulu zikagesi, ezenziwe ngomshini, ezibonakalayo, kanye namathemba wokusebenza, futhi abe namathemba wohlelo lokusebenza olubanzi ezindaweni zokusebenza kahle, amadivaysi e-elekthronikhi, izinzwa namadivayisi ama-molecula. Kodwa-ke, amaphutha angaphezulu kwe-carbon nanotubes kanye nokuhambisana kwawo okungekuhle nezinye izinto zokwakha zikhawulele uhlelo lwazo. Ngakho-ke, ukunwebisa ukusetshenziswa kwe-carbon nanotubes ngokusebenzisa ukuguqulwa komhlaba kancane kancane kube yindawo eshisayo yocwaningo. I-Carbon Nanotubes ingenza okuthile okuphezulu komhlaba, i-NI Plated Carbon Nanotubes enezinto eziningi ze-carbon (okubhekiselwa kuzo njengoba i-MWCNTS-NI) ibhekisela ekusetshenzisweni kwe-okrcnts yasekuqaleni, bese besebenzisa indlela yokusebenza kwe-carbon ye-carbon elungiselelwe elungiselelwe. Uma kuqhathaniswa nama-MWCNTS okuqala, iMwcnts-Ni nansiwe yathuthukiswa ngokwemibandela yokungafani, ukumelana nokugqwala, izakhiwo ze-electromave kanye ne-microwave amuncyrorploprorties, ngakondla kakhulu ukusetshenziswa kwama-MWCNTs emikhakheni ehlukahlukene.

I-nickel-plated carbon nanotubes isetshenziswa kabanzi ekuvikelweni okuvikayo.
