Note: Electric voltage is generated by passing liquid through coils of single-walled carbon nanotubes. This technique is used to  make fluid flow sensors to detect very small amounts of liquids and also to generate voltage in applications of nanobio sensors   . High-ion conductive nanotubes also produce more voltage  .

Nanotubes have a very high surface density, which makes the nanotubes strong. It can be said that this property is due to their remarkable small size. Storage in nanotubes All three carbon atoms have the ability to store one lithium ion, while in graphite all six carbon atoms have the ability to store one lithium ion. Also, the ability to store energy in nanotubes is many times the volume of graphite electrodes. Therefore, a lot of hydrogen can be stored in nanotubes for energy applications and fuel cells. The increase in thermal power and resistance of nanotubes is proportional to the third root of the mass of atoms and molecules. Heating also  increases the strength of the nanotube and increases its tensile strength by six times, increasing its conductivity  

The arc method is the most common and perhaps the simplest way to produce carbon nanotubes. However, this technique is a technique in which a mixture of nanotubes and impurities is produced, which is necessary to separate the nanotubes from soot and metals and catalysts in the raw product. In this method, the nanotubes are produced by the evaporation of the electric arc of two carbon rods facing each other at a distance of approximately 1 mm from each other. The heat from the discharge evaporates one  of the carbon electrodes and forms a small rod-like deposit on the other electrode.

Conclusion: 

Electric voltage is generated by passing liquid through coils of single-walled carbon nanotubes. This technique is used to  make fluid flow sensors to detect very small amounts of liquids and also to generate voltage in applications of nanobio sensors   . High-ion conductive nanotubes also produce more voltage  .
