| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To solve the problems on storage, delivery, and portability of energy, we focus on the wind-up type mechanical energy storage of carbon nanotube (CNT) which has high tensile strength and elasticity and is light. The purpose of this study is to determine experimentally the gravimetric energy density stored by twisting CNT. An apparatus measuring tensile force and torque causing when samples were twisted to calculate the gravimetric energy density was constructed. As a result, the gravimetric energy density was 0.052 MJ/kg for carbon fiber and 3.8×10-4 MJ/kg for graphene oxide. Moreover, the maximum gravimetric energy density of CNT yarn with 11 um in diameter was 0.61 MJ/kg, which is comparable to Lithium ion battery.
