Carbon nanotubes aligned perpendicular to a surface are used as electrodes to form novel, conducting polymer–carbon nanotube (CP–NT) composites. The SEM image (see picture) shows the CP–NT coaxial nanowires, in which an appropriate conducting polymer film is electrochemically deposited onto the carbon nanotube arrays partially immersed into an electrolyte solution.
