We report fabrication of vertically-aligned single-walled carbon nanotube (VA-SWCNT) electrodes for a symmetric electrochemical capacitor using a simple, low-cost ethanol-based SWCNT growth system. From the CNT direct growth technique, the electrode was easily prepared and consequently assembled wit...
