A team of Rice University researchers, led by Pulickel Ajayan (pictured) have created hybrid carbon-nanotube/metal-oxide arrays as electrode material that may improve the performance of lithium-ion batteries. Rice’s nanotubes are grown to look and act like coaxial conducting lines used in cables.
The coax tubes consist of a manganese oxide (MnO2) shell and a highly conductive nanotube (CNT) core. Read more
