Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for preparing an electrode comprising a metal substrate, vertically aligned carbon nanotubes and a metal oxide deposited over the entire length of said vertically aligned carbon nanotubes, said method comprising the following consecutive steps: (a) synthesizing, on a metal substrate, a mat of vertically aligned carbon nanotubes; and (b) depositing a metal oxide matrix over the entire height of said vertically aligned carbon nanotube mat via spontaneous reduction at a temperature not exceeding 40° C. The present invention also relates to said electrode and to the uses thereof.
