Abstract
Graphene material-metal nanocomposites having a metal core with one or more graphene material layers disposed on the metal core. The nanocomposites may be formed by contacting metal nanowires and one or more graphene material and/or graphene material precursor in a dispersion. The nanocomposites may be used for form inks for coating or printing conductive elements or as conductors in various articles of manufacture. An article of manufacture may be an electrical device or an electronic device.
Claims52
A process of making a graphene material-metal nanocomposite comprising:
- forming a layer of graphene material and/or graphene-precursor material on at least a portion of a surface of or all of the surfaces of metal nanowires;
- and
- optionally, calcining the metal nanowires comprising a layer of graphene-precursor material,
- wherein the graphene material-metal nanocomposite is formed.
A nanocomposite comprising a metal core and a graphene material layer disposed on at least a portion of a surface of the metal core or all of the surfaces of the metal core.
