Abstract. Multi-walled carbon nanotubes grown on the carbon paper substrate are prepared by in situ growth in a chemical vapor deposition system. Co(OH)2 is deposited on carbon nanotubes/carbon paper by electrodeposition methods. SEM images show that the successful growth of nanometer-sized Co(OH)2 nanosheets on the surface of carbon nanotubes/carbon paper substrate. The electrodes of Co(OH…
