Aluminum wire of AS300/39 grade with coatings synthesized by micro-arc oxidation in an electrolyte containing additives of graphene oxide and carbon nanotubes was tested under conditions of high-voltage corona discharge in the presence of a model rainfall. It is established that hydrophilic properties of the proposed coating provide for up to 40% reduction in the level of corona power losses.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
