Rationally designed graphene-nanotube 3D architectures with a seamless nodal junction for efficient energy conversion and storage

This article discusses the development of a strategy of creating 3D graphene-carbon nanotube hollow fibers with radially aligned CNTs (RACNTs) seamless sheathed by a cylindrical graphene layer through a one-step chemical vapor deposition using an anodized aluminum wire template.
