NOVELTY - A battery has a negative electrode including an anode current collector having carbon nanotubes (CNTs) sheet(s) and a semiconductor material deposited on the sheet, a positive electrode including a cathode current collector having CNTs sheet(s) having nickel sulfide or tin sulfide deposited on the sheet and a separator between the electrodes.    USE - Battery e.g. secondary battery, space-based battery, advanced battery and conformal battery, such as lithium ion battery and nickel-zinc battery. Uses include but are not limited to satellites, ground stations, timers, remote sensing devices, defense applications, electrical vehicles, mobile communications, mobile grid storage and energy and power related applications.    ADVANTAGE - The battery has excellent power and performance, safety and reliability, reduced weight, does not have heavy materials, and does not require additional protection such as pressure sensor, temperature sensor, pressure release valve and safety vents. The CNTs provide excellent handling, fracture toughness, electronic properties and strength, and have excellent capacity, electrical and thermal conductivity, high aspect ratio, channels for lithium ion intercalation, minimize the weight of the battery and increase the energy to weight and/or energy to volume ratio of the battery. The CNT sheet can be shaped into any form, since they can be easily cut with shears, and has excellent thermal stability, surface area, and provides energy density up to three times higher than the energy density of graphite anodes and capacitance ten times higher than available anodes. The CNT electrodes eliminate the need for metal foil substrates and increase the capacity and rate capability. The CNT composite material can be used as battery structural elements to mitigate crash damage.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are included for the following:    (1) method for forming cathode;    (2) method for forming anode; and    (3) manufacture of battery.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The drawing shows a schematic view of the nanotubes sheet.    CNT composite material (10)    Composite sheet (12)    Matrix of nanotubes (14)
