Production and characterization of CdCl2 intercalated graphite fibers

Graphite fibers were intercalated using CdCl2 as a Cl source and Cl2 as carrier gas. Fibers were synthesized with a resistivity-density figure of merit comparable to that of copper. These fibers can withstand practical electrical current densities as high as 54,000 A/sq cm. Their thermal coefficient...

Zusammenfassung:Graphite fibers were intercalated using CdCl2 as a Cl source and Cl2 as carrier gas. Fibers were synthesized with a resistivity-density figure of merit comparable to that of copper. These fibers can withstand practical electrical current densities as high as 54,000 A/sq cm. Their thermal coefficient of resistivity is 0.0016 C, which is approximately 41 percent of those for copper and aluminum.
