Abstract
Disclosed are conductive composites prepared from ionic liquids, compositions for preparing the composites, and methods of making and using the composites.
Claims24
A process for preparing a conductive composite, comprising:
- a) contacting an electrically resistive material with an ionic liquid having at least one cation and at least one anion that comprises a transition metal, thereby producing a treated electrically resistive material where the anion is absorbed, adsorbed, or both onto at least a portion of the electrically resistive material;
- and
- b) contacting the treated electrically resistive material with a monomer solution comprising a conductive polymer precursor to polymerize the polymer precursor into a conductive polymer, thereby forming the conductive composite.
