CNT electrode CCTO dielectric supercapacitors?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the feasibility of combining carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with calcium copper titanate (CCTO) in supercapacitor applications. Key concerns include the geometry of the structures, insulation, conduction paths, and potential issues with contact bonding between CNTs and CCTO. The high surface area of CNTs poses challenges due to their limited interaction with CCTO, leading to the conclusion that a conductive metal substrate is a more viable option for enhancing supercapacitor performance.

Will the high surface area of carbon nanotubes and high dielectric constant of calcium copper titanate be used together in supercapacitors?
 
I doubt it. You must consider the geometry of the structures, the insulation and the conduction paths. There will be a problem with contact bonding between the carbon nanotube and the CCTO material. The fundamental problem is that the carbon nanotube has a huge surface area of carbon, not of CCTO. I think it much more probable that a conductive metal substrate will be used.
