Acid enhanced zipping effect to densify MWCNT packing for multifunctional MWCNT films with ultra-high electrical conductivity.

ABSTRACT: The outstanding electrical and mechanical properties remain elusive on macroscopic carbon nanotube (CNT) films because of the difficult material process, which limits their wide practical applications. Herein, we report high-performance multifunctional MWCNT films that possess the specific electrical conductivity of metals as well as high strength. These MWCNT films were synthesized by a floating chemical vapor deposition method, purified at high temperature and treated with concentrated HCl, and then densified due to the developed chlorosulfonic acid-enhanced zipping effect. These large scalable films exhibit high electromagnetic interference shielding efficiency, high thermoelectric power factor, and high ampacity because of the densely packed crystalline structure of MWCNTs, which are promising for practical applications.

Hierarchically Multifunctional Polyimide Composite Films with Strongly Enhanced Thermal Conductivity.

Project description:The development of lightweight and integration for electronics requires flexible films with high thermal conductivity and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding to overcome heat accumulation and electromagnetic radiation pollution. Herein, the hierarchical design and assembly strategy was adopted to fabricate hierarchically multifunctional polyimide composite films, with graphene oxide/expanded graphite (GO/EG) as the top thermally conductive and EMI shielding layer, Fe3O4/polyimide (Fe3O4/PI) as the middle EMI shielding enhancement layer and electrospun PI fibers as the substrate layer for mechanical improvement. PI composite films with 61.0 wt% of GO/EG and 23.8 wt% of Fe3O4/PI exhibits high in-plane thermal conductivity coefficient (95.40 W (m K)-1), excellent EMI shielding effectiveness (34.0 dB), good tensile strength (93.6 MPa) and fast electric-heating response (5 s). The test in the central processing unit verifies PI composite films present broad application prospects in electronics fields.

Robust Bioinspired MXene-Hemicellulose Composite Films with Excellent Electrical Conductivity for Multifunctional Electrode Applications.

Project description:MXene-based structural materials with high mechanical robustness and excellent electrical conductivity are highly desirable for multifunctional applications. The incorporation of macromolecular polymers has been verified to be beneficial to alleviate the mechanical brittleness of pristine MXene films. However, the intercalation of a large amount of insulating macromolecules inevitably compromises their electrical conductivity. Inspired by wood, short-chained hemicellulose (xylo-oligosaccharide) acts as a molecular binder to bind adjacent MXene nanosheets together; this work shows that this can significantly enhance the mechanical properties without introducing a large number of insulating phases. As a result, MXene-hemicellulose films can integrate a high electrical conductivity (64,300 S m-1) and a high mechanical strength (125 MPa) simultaneously, making them capable of being high-performance electrode materials for supercapacitors and humidity sensors. This work proposes an alternative method to manufacture robust MXene-based structural materials for multifunctional applications.

Constructing Heterostructured MWCNT-BN Hybrid Fillers in Electrospun TPU Films to Achieve Superior Thermal Conductivity and Electrical Insulation Properties.

Project description:The development of thermally conductive polymer/boron nitride (BN) composites with excellent electrically insulating properties is urgently demanded for electronic devices. However, the method of constructing an efficient thermally conductive network is still challenging. In the present work, heterostructured multi-walled carbon nanotube-boron nitride (MWCNT-BN) hybrids were easily prepared using an electrostatic self-assembly method. The thermally conductive network of the MWCNT-BN in the thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) matrix was achieved by the electrospinning and stack-molding process. As a result, the in-plane thermal conductivity of TPU composite films reached 7.28 W m-1 K-1, an increase of 959.4% compared to pure TPU films. In addition, the Foygel model showed that the MWCNT-BN hybrid filler could largely decrease thermal resistance compared to that of BN filler and further reduce phonon scattering. Finally, the excellent electrically insulating properties (about 1012 Ω·cm) and superior flexibility of composite film make it a promising material in electronic equipment. This work offers a new idea for designing BN-based hybrids, which have broad prospects in preparing thermally conductive composites for further practical thermal management fields.

Flexible PANI/SWCNT thermoelectric films with ultrahigh electrical conductivity.

Project description:The effects of polyaniline (PANI) with different polymerization times on the film-forming and thermoelectric properties as well as on the performance of SWCNTs/PANI composites were systematically investigated in this study. It was found that the film-forming and flexibility of PANI films improved with the increase in polymerization time. We showed that a super high conductivity of ∼4000 S cm-1 can be achieved for the SWCNTs/PANI composite film, which is the highest value for the SWCNTs/PANI system at present. Both the electrical conductivity and power factor increase by an order of magnitude than that of pure PANI films and far exceed the theoretical value of the mixture model. These results suggest that the sufficiently continuous and ordered regions on the interlayer between the filler and matrix are key to improve the electrical conductivity of composites. Finally, the maximum PF reaches 100 μW m-1 K-2 at 410 K for the 0.6CNT/PANI5h. Furthermore, it is found that the composite films have excellent environmental and structural stability. Our results can deepen the understanding of organic-inorganic thermoelectric composite systems and facilitate the practical application of flexible and wearable thermoelectric materials.

High electrical conductivity and carrier mobility in oCVD PEDOT thin films by engineered crystallization and acid treatment.

Project description:Air-stable, lightweight, and electrically conductive polymers are highly desired as the electrodes for next-generation electronic devices. However, the low electrical conductivity and low carrier mobility of polymers are the key bottlenecks that limit their adoption. We demonstrate that the key to addressing these limitations is to molecularly engineer the crystallization and morphology of polymers. We use oxidative chemical vapor deposition (oCVD) and hydrobromic acid treatment as an effective tool to achieve such engineering for conducting polymer poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT). We demonstrate PEDOT thin films with a record-high electrical conductivity of 6259 S/cm and a remarkably high carrier mobility of 18.45 cm2 V-1 s-1 by inducing a crystallite-configuration transition using oCVD. Subsequent theoretical modeling reveals a metallic nature and an effective reduction of the carrier transport energy barrier between crystallized domains in these thin films. To validate this metallic nature, we successfully fabricate PEDOT-Si Schottky diode arrays operating at 13.56 MHz for radio frequency identification (RFID) readers, demonstrating wafer-scale fabrication compatible with conventional complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology. The oCVD PEDOT thin films with ultrahigh electrical conductivity and high carrier mobility show great promise for novel high-speed organic electronics with low energy consumption and better charge carrier transport.

Dopamine-Mediated Graphene Bridging Hexagonal Boron Nitride for Large-Scale Composite Films with Enhanced Thermal Conductivity and Electrical Insulation.

Project description:Heat accumulation generated from confined space poses a threat to the service reliability and lifetime of electronic devices. To quickly remove the excess heat from the hot spot, it is highly desirable to enhance the heat dissipation in a specific direction. Herein, we report a facile route to fabricate the large-scale composite film with enhanced thermal conductivity and electrical insulation. The well-stacked composite films were constructed by the assembly of polydopamine (PDA)-modified graphene nanosheets (GNSPDA) and hexagonal boron nitride (BNPDA), as well as bacterial cellulose (BC). The introduction of the PDA layer greatly improves the interface compatibility between hybrid fillers and BC matrix, and the presence of GNSPDA-bridging significantly increases the probability of effective contact with BNPDA fillers, which is beneficial to form a denser and complete "BN-GNS-BN" heat conduction pathway and tight filler-matrix network, as supported by the Foygel model fitting and numerical simulation. The resulting BC/BNPDA/GNSPDA film shows the thermal conductivity and tensile strength of 34.9 W·m-1·K-1 and 30.9 MPa, which separately increases to 161% and 155% relative to the BC/BNPDA film. It was found that the low electrically conductive and high thermal conductive properties can be well balanced by tuning the mass ratio of GNSPDA at 5 wt%, and the electrical conductivity caused by GNSPDA can be effectively blocked by the BNPDA filler network, giving the low electrical conductivity of 1.8 × 10-10 S·cm-1. Meanwhile, the BC/BNPDA/GNSPDA composite films effectively transfer the heat and diminish the hot-spot temperature in cooling LED chip module application. Thus, the present study may pave the way to promoting the industrialization of scalable thermal management devices.

Enhancement of 3D Printability by FDM and Electrical Conductivity of PLA/MWCNT Filaments Using Lignin as Bio-Dispersant

Project description:To increase the applications of FDM (fusion deposition modeling) 3D printing in electronics, it is necessary to develop new filaments with good electrical properties and suitable processability. In this work, polymer composites filament-shaped with superior electrical performance based on polylactic acid (PLA) carbon nanotubes and lignin blends have been studied by combining solution mixing and melt blending. The results showed that composites achieve electrical percolation from 5 wt.% of nanotubes, with high electrical conductivity. Moreover, the introduction of a plasticizing additive, lignin, improved the printability of the material while increasing its electrical conductivity (from (1.5 ± 0.9)

Patterned few nanometer-thick silver films with high optical transparency and high electrical conductivity.

Project description:Transparent conductive electrodes (TCEs) are experimentally demonstrated using patterned few nanometer-thick silver films on zinc oxide-coated rigid and flexible substrates. The grid lines are completely continuous, but only 8.4 nm thick. This is the thinnest metallic grid we are aware of. Owing to the high transparency of both the grid lines and spacing, our TCE with an opening ratio (OR) as small as 36% achieves an average optical transmittance up to ∼90% in the visible regime, breaking the optical limits of both the unpatterned film counterpart and the thick grid counterpart (whose optical transmittance is determined by the OR). The small OR enables a low sheet resistance of ∼21.5 Ω sq-1. The figure of merit up to ∼17 kΩ-1 is superior to those of the unpatterned film counterpart, our fabricated 180 nm thick ITO, as well as most reported thick metal grid TCEs. Our ultrathin TCE, firmly attached to the substrate, is mechanically more flexible and more stable than the film counterpart and ITO. As a flexible transparent film heater, it achieves comparable or even superior heating performances with previously-reported heaters and performs well in a thermochromic test.

Simple Method to Improve Electrical Conductivity of Films Made from Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes.

Project description:Despite the widespread use of sonication for individualization of nanomaterials, its destructive nature is rarely acknowledged. In this study, we demonstrated how exposure of the material to a hostile sound wave environment can be limited by the application of another preprocessing step. Single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were initially ground in a household coffee grinder, which enabled facile deagglomeration thereof. Such a simple approach enabled us to obtain high-quality CNT dispersion at reduced sonication time. Most importantly, electrical conductivity of free-standing films prepared from these dispersion was improved almost fourfold as compared with unground material eventually reaching 1067 ± 34 S/cm. This work presents a new approach as to how electrical properties of nanocarbon ensembles may be enhanced without the application of doping agents, the presence of which is often ephemeral.

Influence of preferred orientation on the electrical conductivity of fluorine-doped tin oxide films.

Project description:Current development of high-performance transparent conductive oxide (TCO) films is limited with tradeoff between carrier mobility and concentration since none of them can be improved without sacrificing the other. In this study, we prepare fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO) films by chemical vapor deposition with inclusions of different additives and report that the mobility can be varied from 0.65 to 28.5 cm(2) V(-1) s(-1) without reducing the achieved high carrier concentration of 4 × 10(20) cm(-3). Such an increase in mobility is shown to be clearly associated with the development of (200) preferred orientation (PO) but concurrent degradation of (110) PO in films. Thus, at a constant high carrier concentration, the electrical conductivity can be improved via carrier mobility simply by PO control. Such a one-step approach avoiding conventional post-deposition treatment is suggested for developing next-generation FTO as well as other TCO films with better than ever conductivities.
