Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and other related CNT-based materials with a high thermal conductivity can be used as promising heat dissipation materials. Meanwhile, the miniaturization and high functionality of portable electronics, such as laptops and mobile phones, are achieved at the cost of overheating the high power-density components. The heat removal for hot spots occurring in a relatively narrow space requires simple and effective cooling methods. Here, an auxiliary passive cooling approach by the aid of a flat plate (aluminum–magnesium alloy) is investigated to accommodate heat dissipation in a narrow space. The cooling efficiency can be raised to 43.5%. The cooling performance of several CNT-based samples is compared under such circumstances. Heat dissipation analyses show that, when there is a nearby plate for cooling assistance, the heat radiation is weakened and natural convection is largely improved. Thus, improving heat radiation by increasing emissivity without reducing natural convection can effectively enhance the cooling performance. Moreover, the decoration of an auxiliary cooling plate with sprayed CNTs can further improve the cooling performance of the entire setup.
