A composite electrode includes a sheet of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and an electrically conductive metal. The sheet of CNTs include a surface region where carbon atoms are available. The metal is chemically bonded to at least a portion of the carbon atoms whereby a metal carbide is defined.

Carbon nanotube based composite electrode

The invention generally relates to an energetic composition including adjacent layers of an explosive and a combustible fuel, and making of the energetic composition. Specifically, making the energetic composition includes vapor deposition of an explosive layer on a combustible fuel surface; alternatively, a combustible fuel layer may be chemically or physically deposited on an explosive surface to make the energetic composition.
