Abstract
Significant progresses have been made using CNTs and graphene or graphene derivatives to form graphene-CNT hybrids. Due to the unique 3D structures and intimate interactions between the two kinds of building blocks, graphene-CNT hybrids have significantly improved mechanical and electrical properties, showing great potential for application in energy-and environment-related fields. However, many challenges still need to be addressed before real industrial applications. In this chapter, the challenges as well as perspective for the advancement of graphene-CNT hybrids are discussed.
