Facile synthesis of high-performance carbon nanosheet/Cu composites from copper formate

One-pot green solid-state synthesis of Cu2O/microcrystalline cellulose composite with high anti-pathogenic activity

“…Note that the prepared copper formate contained a small portion of crystalline water. The following drying process evaporated crystalline water and obtained anhydrous copper formate 39 (JCPDS No.32-0332). The crystal structure was con rmed by the X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns in Supplementary Fig.…”

Facile Preparation of High-Performance Reduced Graphene Oxide (RGO)/Copper (Cu) Composites Based on Pyrolysis of Copper Formate

“…After grinding stainless steel balls and copper formate tetrahydrate together, the samples were dried in a vacuum oven at 120 °C for 4 h, respectively. In this process, copper formate did not undergo decomposition [ 25 ]. After obtaining the powders, they were heated at 400 °C (10 °C/min) for 3 h in a tube furnace with an H 2 content of 17% until they were derived as the RGO/Cu composite powders.…”

“…It has been reported that an appropriate increase in the volume fraction and quality of graphene can improve the properties of composites [ 23 , 24 ]. Our previous research involved the fabrication of carbon nanosheet-reinforced Cu matrix composites directly using pyrolyzing copper formate [ 25 ]. However, the composites were not as strong as expected due to a low volume fraction and quality of carbon.…”

Copper inks for printed electronics: a review

“…In addition, CNT is also added to Cu ink to improve film unifromity. 130,173,195 However, the resistivity of CNTs is higher than that of pure copper, thus the resistance of sintered pattern is increased. Although mixed copper ink has great advantages, including increasing the copper content of ink, improved ink film conductivity, and lower porosity, and its convenient storage condition and simple preparation technology for large-scale application, some conductive fillers (such as silver or nanoscale precious metals) are expensive, which is inconsistent with the starting point of the low price of copper.…”
