▎ 摘 要
NOVELTY - Producing carbon nanomaterial (CNM) product involves heating an electrolyte media to obtain a molten electrolyte media, positioning the molten electrolyte media between an anode and a steel cathode of an electrolytic cell, introducing a source of carbon into the electrolytic cell, applying a electrical current to the cathode and the anode in the electrolytic cell, collecting the CNM product from the cathode, where the CNM product comprises a minimum relative-amount of a metal-coated CNM product. USE - Method for producing carbon nanomaterial (CNM) product used in a medical device, a structural enhancement additive, a strength enhancement additive, an electrical conductivity enhancement additive, a thermal conductivity enhancement additive, or a flexibility enhancement additive, a hardness enhancement additive, a durability enhancement additive, a lubrication enhancement additive, or as a catalyst, electric vehicles, cables or wires, athletic equipment, a pharmaceutical drug delivery system, an electronic, a battery, a super capacitor, a sensor, a plastic, a polymer, a textile, a hydrogen storage system, a light absorbing enhancement for a surface, an electromagnetic shielding enhancement for a surface, a surface treatment, a surface coating, a paint or a water treatment system, wherein the desired allotrope is a metal-coated carbon nanotube (CNT), a metal-coated graphitic carbon, a metal-coated nano-bamboo, a metal-coated conical carbon nanofiber, a metal-coated nano-pearl, a metal-coated nano-onion, a metal-coated hollow nano-onion, a metal-coated nano-flower, a metal-coated nano-dragon, a metal-coated branch and trunk CNT (a metal-coated nano-tree), a metal-coated nano-belt, a metal-coated nano-rod, a metal-coated long and/or straight CNT, a metal-coated high aspect ratio CNT, a metal-coated thin CNT and a macroscopic assembly of CNTs, including densely packed, straight metal-coated CNTs, a metal-coated nano-sponge or a metal-coated nano-web (claimed).
