Abstract

Abstract : Flexible G/NWs/G paper with stable conductivity higher than that of the reported graphene based papers. Abstract : Flexible graphite nanoplatelets (GNPs)–copper nanowires (Cu NWs) composites of a sandwich-like structure were prepared by a simple filtration method. Cu NWs were sandwiched between GNPs films (G/NWs/G). The sandwiched structure results in conductivity up to 3.18 × 10 5 S m −1, higher than the reported graphene based papers and bulk graphite. The performance of the sandwiched papers is further improved to 8.65 × 10 5 S m −1 through mechanical pressing. Compared to the pure Cu NWs film, the sandwiched composite is oxidation resistant and stable in air, thus promising as candidates for high performance flexible electronics.
