What Are Some Examples of Nanomaterials with Enhanced Conductivity?
Several nanomaterials exhibit enhanced electrical conductivity:
Graphene: Known for its exceptional electrical conductivity, mechanical strength, and thermal properties, graphene is a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a two-dimensional honeycomb lattice. Carbon Nanotubes: These cylindrical nanostructures exhibit excellent electrical conductivity and have been used in various applications, including transistors, sensors, and conductive films. Nanowires: Metallic nanowires (e.g., silver, copper) and semiconductor nanowires (e.g., silicon, germanium) offer high conductivity and are used in flexible electronics, transparent electrodes, and other advanced applications.
