Carbon nanomaterials occupy one of the leading places in many areas of technology aimed at creating new materials and solving a number of problems for various industrial needs, including materials needed for alternative energy. The development of humanity is accompanied by a constant increase in resource availability, which, despite the discovery of new deposits of fossil resources, can lead to a shortage of energy resources. Therefore, in the modern world, it is necessary to develop technologies that will promote the use and implementation of non-traditional alternative energy sources.

Non-standart properties of carbon nanomaterials and nanostructures open wide possibilities of their application. The electrical resistance of bulk arrays of carbon nanotubes in cyclic loading-unloading processes was studied. It is shown that when the volume of the powder sample decreases, the resistance first decreases sharply, and at a certain degree of compression the process of its chang e begins to occur more smoothly, which is associated with increased contacts between neighboring nanostructures and van der Waals bond between them.
