Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have stirred the curiosity of the scientific community for two decades now. They consist of layers of graphene rolled up on themselves in order to form cylinders often closed at the two ends by fullerenic caps. Either they are
electrochemical properties of the VA-CNTs.
Nitration of VA-CNTs: Fluorination of VA-CNTs increases their field-emission performance. Another solution lies in the utilization of post-growth nitrogen plasma treatment. This method was proposed by Lai et al. [109] in 2009. Patterned VA-CNTs, with an ideal hexagon
