Incorporation of Al3+ into turbostratic graphite: an efficient route toward improved thermal and electrical conductivity

Abstract

Creation of carbide crystals in turbostratic graphite sheets (TGS) promotes thermal conductivity and diffusivity by 56–59%, along with a 53–73% decrease in electrical resistivity. The improved conductivity is due to the lengthened mean free path of phonons by 36%.
