This is the professor who also came up with the silicon nanowire batteries we heard about a year or so ago. He's just replacing the metal and metal oxide electrodes with carbon nanotube infused paper. Carbon nanotubes are extremely good conductors, and paper is a highly porous structure on which to get them stuck.<br><br>Now that said, you could also probably use these in capacitors, though if you want them to have high energy storage you'd have to come up with more technology to go with it. I don't know how you would make the electrolytic double layer structure with nanotube electrodes. Otherwise you would end up with a normal (not ultra capacity) capacitor and nothing terribly interesting to publish.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[kleptophobiac]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 9th 2009 12:49PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Stanford wants to roll its own paper batteries]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/09/stanford-wants-you-to-roll-its-own-paper-batteries/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/09/stanford-wants-you-to-roll-its-own-paper-batteries/</guid><description><![CDATA[Seems to me that the nanotubes are just a much lighter (perhaps more compact) conductor than the metal typically used in batteries and other devices.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[johnbeans]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 9th 2009 1:18PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Stanford wants to roll its own paper batteries]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/09/stanford-wants-you-to-roll-its-own-paper-batteries/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/09/stanford-wants-you-to-roll-its-own-paper-batteries/</guid><description><![CDATA[Stanford is very good at rolling things.
