Abstract

Key findings

  • Surface pinning occurs when water molecules are pinned to the surface of the carbon nanotube film, reducing heat transfer.
  • The low heat transfer coefficient is not due to thermal conductivity limitations of the carbon nanotube film.
  • The findings have implications for the design of bioelectrochemical systems using carbon nanotube films.
