Investigating the Fusion of Carbon Nanotubes and Lithium Ion Battery Technologies: A Leap Toward Sustainable Energy Storage

The transition to sustainable energy storage solutions has become an urgent global priority, driven by the escalating demand for energy and the essential shift toward renewable sources. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have attracted considerable attention as a promising material in this transition, owing to their unparalleled conductivity, mechanical strength, and substantial surface area. This review examines the integration of CNTs with lithium‐ion battery (LIB) technologies while emphasizing their transformative potential in enhancing LIB performance. The incorporation of CNTs into LIB anodes significantly improves charge transport and cycling stability while addressing critical challenges that persist in terms of large‐scale production, seamless integration into battery systems, and cost‐effectiveness. This review presents the most recent innovative solutions to these challenges while highlighting emerging research directions that could accelerate the widespread adoption of CNT‐enhanced LIBs. By investigating the potential of CNTs to revolutionize the LIB landscape, this work aims to outline pathways toward the next generation of high‐performance and sustainable energy storage technologies.
