Abstract
Electrodes made of purified and open single walled carbon nanotubes behave like metal hydride electrodes in Ni-MH batteries, showing high electrochemi cal reversible charging capacity up to 800 mAh g(-1) corresponding to a hyd rogen storage capacity of 2.9 wt% compared to known AB(5), AB(2) metal hydr ide electrodes.
