Thermoacoustic carbon nanotube (CNT) speakers were fabricated using CNT webs spun from a multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWNT) array of 0.8–1.6 mm height. The generated sound pressure level (SPL) showed a linear relationship with frequency over a wide range from 10 Hz to 40 kHz with a slope of 6 dB/octave. In addition to this, significantly broad and flat SPLs were obtained in the ultrasonic region, ranging from 40 to 100 kHz. The distance from the speaker to the microphone was 0.5 m. The high SPL is due to the good heat radiation property of the MWNT web. Herein, we showed an acoustical property for the MWNT web thermoacoustic speaker from the viewpoint of the structural web morphology. The role of heat radiation behavior and the effects of the length of individual MWNTs are discussed.
