Carbon Nanotubes Doped with 50 wt% Copper (Cu) Nanopowder/Nanoparticles

Description

Carbon Nanotubes Doped with 50 wt% Copper (Cu) Nanopowder/Nanoparticles

This high-performance hybrid material blends the exceptional electrical conductivity of copper (Cu) nanoparticles with the structural strength and nanoscale architecture of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). With 50 wt% Cu content, this composite material is engineered for superior performance in electrical, thermal, and mechanical applications—particularly where high conductivity and strength are required.

The copper nanoparticles used are near-spherical, average 30 nm in size, and exhibit ultra-high purity (99.99%). With a specific surface area of 40.0 m²/g and a high true density of 9 g/cm³, they provide excellent electron transport and thermal conduction. Combined with >97 wt% pure MWCNTs—which offer a large surface area (>65 m²/g), low ash content, and excellent aspect ratio—this composite is ideal for next-generation electronic and energy systems.
