We describe and realize an aligned carbon nanotube array based 'carbon nanotube fur ( CNTF)' electrode. We removed an 800 mu m long aligned carbon nanotube array from the silica substrate, and then pasted the array on a nickel foam current collector to obtain a CNTF electrode. CNTF's characteristics and electrochemical properties were studied systemically in this paper. The cut - paste method is simple, and does not damage the microstructure of the aligned carbon nanotube array. The CNTF electrode obtained a specific capacitance of 14.1 F g(-1) and excellent rate capability.
