METHOD FOR GROWING CARBON NANOTUBES ON THE SURFACE AND IN THE BODY OF A POROUS CARBONACEOUS SUBSTRATE AND USE FOR PREPARING AN ELECTRODE

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for providing a substrate made of a porous carbonaceous material with vertically aligned carbon nanotubes, said method having a first step of depositing a ceramic underlayer on said substrate followed by a second step of synthesising, by catalytic chemical vapour deposition, said vertically aligned carbon nanotubes on the substrate obtained after the first step, the carbon source necessary for the synthesis during this second step being injected in a direction substantially perpendicular to the plane of the substrate and at a pressure less than 8104 Pa (800 mbar). The present invention relates to said substrate thus provided and to the use of same for preparing an electrode such as a supercapacitor electrode.
