Nano tubes

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are allotropes of carbon with a cylindrical nanostructure.Nanotubes are categorized as single-walled nanotubes (SWNTs) and multi-walled nanotubes (MWNTs).

Usage scope :

1:One of the promising applications of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) is their use in solar panels, due to their strong UV/Vis-NIR absorption characteristics.

2: In addition to being able to store electrical energy, there has been some research in using carbon nanotubes to store hydrogen to be used as a fuel source.

3: Radars work in the microwave frequency range, which can be absorbed by MWNTs
