Carbon Nanotube Sponge

Product Overview
The carbon nanotube sponge is a three-dimensional network structure made of carbon nanotubes, characterized by extremely low density and high porosity. It exhibits excellent superhydrophobic and oleophilic properties, enabling it to quickly absorb and separate various oils and organic solvents. Carbon nanotube sponges hold significant potential in applications such as catalysis, sensors, and energy storage.

Key Features

• Low Density:The density is approximately 1% of water's density.
• High Porosity:With porosity over 99%, it offers exceptional adsorption capacity.
• Superhydrophobic & Oleophilic:It can strongly adsorb oil-based substances without chemical modification, demonstrating excellent water-repellent properties.
• High Adsorption Capacity:Capable of absorbing 80 to 180 times its weight in organic solvents and oils.
• Good Electrical Conductivity:The three-dimensional network structure grants the sponge superior electrical conductivity.
• High Stability:Excellent stability in high temperatures, harsh environments, and seawater.
