Hello! for my since-fiction i`m looking for answers for the following questions - is there any electrostatic properties about carbon tubes? Could it collect electrostatic energy?

Graphene can hold an electrostatic charge

Graphene is carbon, literally a sheet of pure carbon one atom thick. It also has its atoms arranged in a honeycomb (hexagon) pattern. That pattern contributes to the many usual electrical properties of graphene. In the case of ultracapacitors it increases the ability of graphene to hold an electrostatic charge.Making Edison's Batteries Charge 1000 Times Faster
"In conventional electrodes, people randomly mix iron and nickel materials with conductive carbon... Instead, we grew nanocrystals of iron oxide onto graphene, and nanocrystals of nickel hydroxide onto carbon nanotubes."
Usually, Edison's battery takes hours to charge; the Stanford version takes minutes. In fact, it's 1000 times faster.
