The preparation of carbon nanotube sheets, called carbon nanotuhe papers [60] and carbon nanotube films by physical adsorption [61] is already known. However, reports describing the preparation of thin films with high homogeneity from purified-carbon nanotubes dissolved or dispersed in solution are very limited. By utilizing soluble nanotubes, carbon nanotube ultrathin films can be formed. Ultrathin composite films of carbon nanotubes and amphiphiles are formed by means of the LB technique [62]. Krstic etal. described the formation of mono-layers of SWNTs and a surfactant on substrates with lithographically defined electrode arrays [63]. They measured the electrical transport of the electrodes. The...

Carbon nanotubes or exfoliated graphite (graphene) offers substantial opportunities in the electrical/electronic/optoelectronics areas, as well as potential in specific emerging technologies. Carbon nanotube sheets have been proposed [80], and the potential for carbon nanotube-conjugated polymer composites would be of interest if sufficient electrical conductivity could be obtained (greater than 10 g/cm).

The current density of a single-wall carbon nanotube sheet electrode, with infused platinum nanoparticles as the cathode in a microbial fuel cell, was approximately an order of magnitude higher than that with an e-beam-evapo-rated platinum cathode. The enhancement of catalytic activity can be associated with the increase of the catalyst surface area in the active cathode layer [61]. In another study, MFCs with carbon nanotube mat cathodes produced a maximum power density of 329 mW m , more than twice of that obtained with carbon cloth cathodes (151 mW m ) [62]. A similar twofold improvement was obtained by electrochemically depositing Pt nanoparticles on a CNT textile cathode for aqueous cathode MFCs, with only 19.3% Pt loading of a commercial Pt-coated carbon cloth cathode [63].
