Title:
SINGLE-WALL CARBON NANOTUBES FOR HYDROGEN STORAGE OR SUPERBUNDLE FORMATION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2001053199
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A method of processing single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) in the formation of superbundles or for use in hydrogen storage, or both, is provided comprising the steps of mixing a SWNT substrate in a solvent solution into a suspension, and agitating the suspension using an ultrasonic energy means.
