Abstract
A method comprising: dispersing carbon nanotubes in a solvent; and depositing the carbon nanotubes on a porous, conductive substrate; wherein the porous, conductive substrate is capable of functioning as a filter and a working electrode. The method of claim 1 further comprising: engaging the porous, conductive substrate with deposited carbon nanotubes in an electrochemical cell; and depositing at least one metallic structure on the surface of the carbon nanotubes from an electrolyte solution to form metallized carbon nanotubes. A composite comprising: metallized carbon nanotubes generated by the method of claim 2; wherein the at least one metallic structure comprises a conductive metal atom selected from the group consisting of platinum, gold nickel, copper, iron, chromium, zinc, and combinations thereof; and a matrix material selected from the group consisting of epoxies, thermosets, thermoplastics, elastomers, metals, metal matrix composites, ceramics and combinations thereof.
