To satisfy the requirement of the reduction in green house gases from automobile emissions, new powertrain systems such as batteries and ultracapacitors are being developed for plug-in electric vehicles. Attributing to their unique electrochemical properties, carbon nanotubes have drawn an ever-increasing attention since their integration in powertrain systems promises an improved energy conversion efficiency and an increased storage capacity. Specifically, there are two major merits that this nanomaterial can bring about: i) longer life time and ii) higher energy density, both of which may significantly reduce cost and preserve energy for the automotive industry and consumers.

为了满足减少汽车排放的绿色家庭气体的要求，正在开发用于插电式电动汽车的新型动力系统，例如电池和超级电容器。由于其独特的电化学性能，碳纳米管已经引起了越来越多的关注，因为它们在动力系统中的集成有望提高能量转换效率和增加存储容量。具体而言，这种纳米材料可以带来两个主要优点：i）更长的使用寿命和ii）更高的能量密度，这两者都可以显着降低成本并为汽车行业和消费者节省能源。
