Photovoltaic Systems
A team of researchers at the Energy Department's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) recently identified that single-walled carbon nanotube semiconductors can be beneficial for photovoltaic systems because the semiconductors are capable of transforming sunlight to electricity or fuels without losing a lot of energy.

Aviation areas
The most recent Boeing and Airbus passenger jets flying at present are built primarily from advanced composite materials such as carbon fiber reinforced plastic. These materials are very light, durable and capable of minimizing the aircraft’s overall weight by almost 20% compared to aluminum-bodied planes.
