- Additional information
- A facile route to the synthesis of nitrogenated carbon nanotubes with up to 6.1 wt% nitrogen has been developed. Results indicate that the new synthetic route can be used to significantly enhance the low intrinsic specific capacitance of carbon nanotubes. The nitrogen functionalities determine this effect, at least, five-fold increase of the specific capacitance.
