What is it about?

Compacted multi-graphene structures (CMGSs) exhibiting a thermal conductivity of 500 W/(m·K) were developed. A “Soft” intercalation regime (five graphene layers vs three in the “Standard” regime) increases conductivity by 38%. CMGSs exhibit 25% higher conductivity and one-fifth the density of copper.

Why is it important?

The discussed points are important for obtaining compacted multi-graphene structures with high thermal conductivity. In turn, controlling intermolecular explosion in graphite through parameters of physical and chemical interaction has the potential to create lightweight and flexible carbon-based materials with pre-specified thermal conductivity properties.

Perspectives

Understanding processes occurring in graphite at each stage of its processing up to the moment when CMGS are obtained will allow a more targeted approach to improving the thermal conductivity properties
