Tribological properties of copper-based composites with copper coated NbSe2 and CNT

Facile construction of 3D graphene/MoS2 composites as advanced electrode materials for supercapacitors

“…Recently, layered transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have attracted intensive attention, which have been applied in a variety of fields [5], such as energy storage [6], hydrogen evolution reaction [7], adsorbents [8], solid lubricants [9], and so on. From the structural point of view, molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2 ) is one typical member of the TMDs family, which has been shown to be a promising electrode material for the SCs due to its high theoretical specific capacitance with the layered structure analogous to graphite [10e13].…”

Carbon Nanotube (CNT)-Reinforced Metal Matrix Bulk Composites: Manufacturing and Evaluation

“…Considering that commercial CNTs are usually delivered in agglomerated form, different methods have to be employed to disaggregate and blend them with the metallic matrix material. There are a lot of dispersing and blending processes like magnetic stirring [40], nanoscale dispersion processing [18,21,41], colloidal mixing [6,16,22,[26][27][28][29][30][31][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49], molecularlevel mixing [7,9,11,12,14,24,25,[50][51][52][53][54], particle composite system mixing [15,55], friction stir processing [56], layer stacking [57], ball milling [8,10,17,19,20,[22][23][24][32]…”

“…After merging the CNT/metal composite powders, different densification methods are used for the consolidation of the final samples. Examples of these are cold pressed sintering (CPS) [8,14,17,20,27,28,34,35,47,53,63,74,78], hot uniaxial pressing (HUP) [10,19,26,27,[29][30][31]39,40,47,49,62,[67][68][69][70], spark plasma sintering (SPS) [6,7,9,11,12,[14][15][16]18,21,[23][24][25]42,[44][45][46]48,[50][51][52]…”

“…Using low energy ball milling, this unwanted effect can be reduced, but it will not vanish. The importance of a low defect density of CNTs will be discussed later on in entry 2.2 [8,10,17,19,20,[22][23][24][32][33][34][35][36]38,50,53,[58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72][73][74].…”

Tailoring the lubricative and electroconductive bifunction properties of NbSe2 film by controlling the sputtering plasma

“…Thus, the metallic NbSe 2 material has not only low friction behavior but also the excellent electroconductivity (electrical resistivity of 5.35×10 -4 cm) at room temperature [7]. The early research on NbSe 2 as the lubricant additive was carried out in the 1960s and the positive cooperation between it and the matrix could optimize the lubricative and electroconductive characteristics for the bulky composite materials [8,9]. Recently, the keen interest in low temperature superconducting character of NbSe 2 also has been expressed by up-and-coming physicists [10].…”
