Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A composite structure with porous metal comprises a porous metal structure and a carbon nanotube structure comprising a plurality of carbon nanotubes, the carbon nanotube structure is fixed on surface of the porous metal structure, and the porous metal structure and the carbon nanotube structure are shrunk together to form a plurality of wrinkled parts.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A composite structure with porous metal comprising: a porous metal structure; and a carbon nanotube structure comprising a plurality of carbon nanotubes, the carbon nanotube structure is fixed on a surface of the porous metal structure, wherein the porous metal structure and the carbon nanotube structure are shrunk together to form a plurality of wrinkled parts. 2. The composite structure with porous metal of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of carbon nanotubes in the carbon nanotube structure forming the plurality of wrinkled parts are extended substantially along a same direction. 3. The composite structure with porous metal of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of wrinkled parts are connected to each other to form a continuous structure. 4. The composite structure with porous metal of claim 1 , wherein the porous metal structure comprises a plurality of ligaments, and the plurality of ligaments define a plurality of pores. 5. The composite structure with porous metal of claim 4 , wherein the ligament is a material selected from a group consisting of silver (Ag), platinum (Pt), gold (Au) and a combination thereof. 6. The composite structure with porous metal of claim 1 , further comprising a bonding material, wherein the bonding material is configured to fix the carbon nanotube structure on surface of the porous metal structure. 7. The composite structure with porous metal of claim 6 , wherein the bonding material is configured to envelop contact surfaces between the carbon nanotube structure and the porous metal structure. 8. The composite structure with porous metal of claim 6 , wherein the bonding material is an organic binder material or a metal material. 9. The composite structure with porous metal of claim 1 , wherein the carbon nanotube structure comprises a plurality of carbon nanotubes arranged along a same direction.
