Temperature‐Dependent Electrical Transport Properties of Single‐Walled Carbon Nanotube Thin Films Prepared by Electrohydrodynamic Atomization Technique

An improved layer-by-layer vacuum filtration method was adopted for the fabrication of single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) films aiming at a series of SWCNT films with controllable thickness and density. The electrical transport properties of the multilayered SWCNT films have been investigated. With the constant film density, the decrease of the layer number of the SWCNT film results in an increase of the temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR). SWCNT film with 95% metallic nanotubes has shown a lower TCR than that of the SWCNT films with a low percentage of metallic nanotubes. The effect of thermal annealing and subsequent acid (HNO3) treatment on the electrical properties of the SWCNT films has also been investigated.

Nonmonotonic Variation

Electric-arc-synthesized single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) bundles were sonicated in boric acid, dried and sintered under vacuum at 1200°C using a spark plasma sintering process. The nominal boric acid concentrations were 0%, 2.5%, 5%, 7.5%, 12.5% and 15%. This resulted in a nonmonotonic variation of carrier concentration in the resulting samples. The 7.5% boric acid treated sample showed the least magnitude and weakest temperature-dependence for the thermopower with a distinct phonon-drag peak that was absent in the other samples. These results are discussed within the framework of the doping-induced shift of the Fermi level and changes in the electron–phonon coupling.

Temperature Dependent Properties

ABSTRACTThis work reports temperature dependent thermal and electrical properties characterization of long (mm size) single-walled carbon nanotube strands. Electrical properties are measured using a 4-probe method. Thermal conductivity and specific heat capacity are determined using an AC driven, self-heating method. Normalized values of resistivity, thermal conductivity, specific heat, thermal diffusivity, and the temperature coefficient of resistance are reported. The trends observed in the temperature dependent properties are comparable with previously published data on multi-walled carbon nanotube strands measured with a similar technique.
