Interface interaction and synergistic strengthening behavior in pure copper matrix composites reinforced with functionalized carbon nanotube-graphene hybrids

sp3-like defect structure of hetero graphene-carbon nanotubes for promoting carrier transfer and stability

“…It is noteworthy that the intensity ratio of the D band and G band (I D :I G , the average of three measurements) of 3D G-C is 1.32 ± 0.02, which is higher than that of the mixed G-C (1.20 ± 0.02), 3D rGO (1.18 ± 0.02) and CNTs (1.18 ± 0. 02) [30][31][32]. This result revealed that the degree of defect, irregularly arranged and sp 3 carbon in 3D G-C is higher, which is consistent with the increase of the sp 3 carbon of XPS result.…”

“…Secondly, confined effect is that the core-shell porous structure can prevent the catalytic sites from leaching and the multiple-level pores can highly disperse the catalytic sites [48,49]. Finally, interfacial effect shows that the sp 3like defect interface structure is mostly important, because this interface structure not only form the neural-like structure for cascade charge transport, and fabricate the core-shell structure for efficient confinement catalysis, but also provide strong linkage between the rGO and CNTs for highly structural stability, high conductivity and fast interface carries transport [32,50].…”

Critical challenges and advances in the carbon nanotube–metal interface for next-generation electronics

“…Several mechanical dispersing techniques have been implemented to separate the CNTs agglomerates in different matrices (Figure 4), including high energy ball/bead milling (HEBM) and friction mixing. [97][98][99][100] The mechanism of all the mechanical treatments can be simply understood as the trade-off between the mechanical energy induced into the solution/matrix to disperse the CNT agglomerates and the binding energy which keeps CNTs aggregate together. Taking these two competing forces into consideration, the energy introduced to the system should be greater than the binding energy between the neighboring CNTs but also need to be lower than the minimum amount to avoid damaging each individual nanotube.…”
