Electrical Properties of Iodine-Doped Cu/f-CNT Coated Aluminum Wires by Electrophoresis with Copper Sulfate Solution

This work investigated the effects of iodine on copper/functionalized carbon nanotubes (Cu/f-CNT) that were used in coating 1350 Aluminum Alloy wires, using process electrophoretic exposure with a solution copper sulfate and iodine, under an electrical current 1.2 A voltage 10 V. The Al@Cu/f-CNT was characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy Secondary mode, X-ray Diffraction Raman spectroscopy, addition to measurements, at room temperature heating, via kelvin bridge. results showed increase approximately 18% conductivity IACS compared standard aluminum conductor, due doping outer walls f-CNT, causing expansion between layers, reflecting conduction channels. method electrodeposition Cu/f-CNT surface metallic wires shows promise for production nanostructured cables high ampacity, lightness performance, application power transmission lines.
