Characterization of graphene based conductive paste

Abstract

With the discovery of graphene and the development of related research, graphene has been applied in various fields. The excellent properties in mechanical, electrical and energy storage due to the two-dimensional conjugated structure and high surface area of graphene make it ideal conductive material. Graphene can form a complete three-dimensional conductive network, by which can be used as a conductive agent for the electrode material. In this work, a commercialized graphene based conductive paste (GCP) was characterized. AFM was implemented to study morphology and thickness, XPS, ICP, Raman were used to reveal element results and basic properties of graphene. The solid content, static stability and kinematic viscosity for conductive paste were also characterized.
