Description
Carbon Nanotubes Doped with 30 wt% Silicon (Si) and 30 wt% Graphene Nanopowder/Nanoparticles
This innovative hybrid material blends the exceptional electrical conductivity of graphene with the semiconducting and high-capacity storage potential of silicon nanoparticles, all embedded within a matrix of high-purity multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). The synergistic effects of 30 wt% graphene nanoplatelets and 30 wt% silicon nanopowders result in a nanocomposite with significantly enhanced mechanical, thermal, and electronic properties.
The graphene’s high surface area and electrical conductivity, combined with the silicon’s energy storage capacity and the CNTs’ structural integrity, make this material ideal for next-generation batteries, energy storage devices, and advanced composite engineering.
