Abstract

Many potential applications have been proposed for carbon nanotubes, including conductive and high-strength composites; energy storage and energy conversion devices; sensors; field emission displays and radiation sources; hydrogen storage media; and nanometer-sized semiconductor devices, probes, and interconnects. Some of these applications are now realized in products. Others are demonstrated in early to advanced devices, and one, hydrogen storage, is clouded by controversy. Nanotube cost, polydispersity in nanotube type, and limitations in processing and assembly methods are important barriers for some applications of single-walled nanotubes.

We thank many researchers in the nanotube area for their insights especially J. E. Fischer S. Roth R. Hoch L. Crosthwait and J. Robertson. We also thank S. Collins J. S. Lamba and S. Lee for their contributions to the figures and the analysis using the SciFinder search system. Supported by Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency contracts N00173-99-2000 and MDA972-02-C-0005.
