Abstract

Pollution caused by vehicles has been a concern for a long time. Electric vehicles are considered a popular alternative, but the implicit pollution caused during the manufacture of their Li-ion batteries by the mining of graphite (to make electrodes) is ignored. Moreover, these batteries don't satisfy our requirement of power storage in EVs. Carbon nanotubes, which have exceptional strength and conductivity as an electrode material, have the potential to serve as the alternative. To implement CNT electrodes, we only need to find a better mechanism to manufacture them. In this paper, I explore the properties of carbon nanotubes as an electrode material for Li-ion batteries and some newly developed ways to manufacture them.
