Nanotechnology: Applications of Carbon Nanotubes in Electrical Engineering
Journal Title: Invention Journal of Research Technology in Engineering & Management - Year 2019, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
Nanotechnology is a rapidly advancing technology which has the potential to revolutionize the world by providing a variety of products and services at an ultra-small scale. The main objective of this paper is to find out the most important applications of carbon nanotubes (CNT) in electrical engineering. It addresses the uniqueness of nanotubes that makes them better than their competitors for specific applications. It also discusses the types, electrical properties and several examples of the already existing commercial uses of nanotubes and then point out feasible nanotube applications in electrical engineering. This paper distinguishes between the various kinds of nanotubes in play today, ranging from multiwall nanotubes having different degrees of perfection to the near-perfect molecular single-wall nanotubes. The last decade of research in this field points to several possible applications for these materials; electronic devices and interconnects, field emission devices, electrochemical devices, such as supercapacitors and batteries, nanoscale sensors, electromechanical actuators.
