Here, we report the fabrication of aligned carbon nanotube (A-CNT)/conducting polymer (CP) heterostructures with both uniform conformal and periodic beaded polymer morphologies via oxidative chemical vapor deposition of poly(ethylenedioxythiophene). Periodic beaded CP morphologies are realized utilizing the Plateau–Rayleigh instability to transform the original uniform conformal film, yielding a beaded CP morphology with a >50% enhancement in specific surface area (SSA). Modeling indicates that this SSA increase originates from the internal volume of the A-CNTs becoming available for adsorption, and that these internal A-CNT surfaces, if they could be made accessible to electrolyte ions, could lead to >30% enhancement of specific gravimetric and volumetric capacitances of current state-of-the-art A-CNT/CP heterostructures.
