Article Synopsis
  • Explosive percolation is a phenomenon where a network becomes highly conductive with the sudden formation of new pathways, making it an important area of study in materials science.
  • In this research, graphene oxide and synthetic polymer latex are combined to create low percolation threshold composites, enhancing electrical conductivity through the formation of organized conductive pathways.
  • The process of reducing graphene oxide at lower temperatures not only modifies the polymer but also creates crosslinking agents, resulting in composites that outperform traditional dense networks in terms of conductivity.

Carbon nanofoam (CNF) is a highly porous, amorphous carbon nanomaterial that can be produced through the interaction of a high-fluence laser and a carbon-based target material. The morphology and electrical properties of CNF make it an ideal candidate for supercapacitor applications. In this paper, we prepare and characterize CNF supercapacitor electrodes through two different processes, namely, a direct process and a water-transfer process.
