Fundamentals of electrical properties of chirality-defined carbon nanotube macroassemblies

Funding: 856 984,00 PLN

Duration: 2016 – 2018

Abstract:

The aim of the project is to manufacture a wide range of macroassemblies from carbon nanostructures such as carbon nanotubes/graphene and analyze their electrical properties. The material will be made in the form of sheets from carbon nanotubes of different metallic character, chirality and surface chemistry. The experiments should answer the question what is the influence of the microstructure/composition of the material on the ability to transport electrical energy. Studies of carrier transport at different conditions will give an insight into the conduction mechanism and indicate under what circumstances the use of this material is beneficial as compared to traditional conductors such as copper or aluminum
