Their methods of production and utility for energy storage and collection devices, like batteries, ca - ^ pacitors and photovoltaics, is described. The binder, electrolyte, or separator composition can further comprise polymers. The dis - crete carbon nanotubes further comprise at least a portion of the tubes being open ended and/or functionalized. The utility of the binder, electrolyte or separator film composition includes improved capacity, power or durability in energy storage and collection (5T devices. The utility of the electrolyte and or separator film compositions includes improved ion transport in energy storage and col- ^ lection devices.
