Abstract: Nanostructured materials are of extraordinary intrigued within the vitality capacity and change field due to their great mechanical and electrical properties. Carbon nanotubes are substances which have been shown those properties. They are an interesting nanostructure that has promising possibilities for future applications. CNTs have different allotropes such as fullerenes, CNTs and graphene. They have been subjects of wide investigate intrigued due to their potential for novel applications spread over the logical range. Graphene to a great extent considered the essential of all carbon allotropes can be formed to make 0D fullerene or rolled to create 1D CNTs. CNTs come in numerous shapes which shift by diameter and by the course of action of their hexagonal clusters within the grid. These contrasts result in the changes to the thickness of electronic states and give each sort of CNTs one of a kind of electrical and basic properties. Progresses in synthesis and decontamination have given analysts get to higher quality materials which has empowered distant better and improved understanding of their properties and their guarantee for future electronic applications.
