Highly conductive graphite/carbon fiber/cellulose composite papers

Abstract Papermaking techniques were used to produce graphite/carbon fiber/cellulose fiber composite papers with tunable electrical conductivity and good mechanical properties. The obtained conductive papers are easy to handle, flexible and have an extremely good conductivity, up to 964 S m−1. Furthermore the proposed production process is low cost and can be easily scaled up in the perspective of disposable and recyclable device production.
