Thermally Conductive Ti3C2Tx Fibers with Superior Electrical Conductivity (IMAGE)
Caption
- The strong covalent crosslinking between trace amounts of borates and the hydroxyl groups of Ti3C2Tx significantly reduces interlayer spacing, enhances orientation and compactness, leading to notable improvements in both the mechanical (tensile strength of 188.72 MPa) and electrical properties (7781 S cm-1) of Ti3C2Tx fibers.
- Trace amounts of borates can promote the regularization of interfacial structures, reduce interfacial thermal resistance, and significantly enhance the thermal conductivity (13 W m-1 K-1) of Ti3C2Tx fibers, thus increasing their potential for efficient heat transfer applications.
