CNT is tube-shaped material made of carbon, with diameters varying from less than 1 nm to 50 nm. It is in the form of a graphite layer that has continuous unbroken hexagonal mesh with carbon molecules at the edges of hexagons. CNTs can be made in various structures, with different lengths, thicknesses, and number of layers. These variations provide CNTs different electrical characteristics despite being made of same graphite sheet. These characteristics allow CNTs to be used as either metals or semiconductors.
