METHOD FOR PRODUCING AN ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE CARBON CONDUCTOR WITH CARBON STRUCTURAL FORMS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18257021 titled 'METHOD FOR PRODUCING AN ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE CARBON CONDUCTOR WITH CARBON STRUCTURAL FORMS
Simplified Explanation
The present invention describes a method for producing an electrical carbon conductor from various carbon structural forms, such as graphite, graphene, and carbon nanotubes, by doping them with additives like aluminum fluoride or perfluorinated polymeric sulfonic acid. The process involves creating a liquid dispersion of the undoped carbon forms, adding the additive, mixing the dispersion, and then forming the conductor strand in fiber or film form through wet-spinning or deposition on a carrier material. The final step includes removing the dispersion fluid from the conductor strand through drying, vacuum, and heat treatment.

Original Abstract Submitted
The present invention relates to a method for producing an electrical carbon conductor from carbon structural forms, which are in particular allotropic modifications of the carbon, in particular graphite, pyrolytic graphite, graphene and/or carbon nanotubes, and precursor compounds of graphene, such as graphene oxide, for example, which, in order to increase the electrical conductivity of the electrical carbon conductor, are doped with an additive for doping the carbon structural forms, in particular aluminum fluoride and/or aluminum chlorofluoride and/or perfluorinated polymeric sulfonic acid, characterized by the steps: producing a liquid dispersion from undoped carbon structural forms and a solvent, adding the additive to the dispersion and mixing the dispersion, producing a conductor strand in fiber or film form to form the carbon conductor, in particular by wet-spinning the dispersion or by depositing the dispersion on a carrier material, and by removing the dispersion fluid from the conductor strand as a liquid phase, which is achieved in particular by drying, vacuum and heat treatment.
