Mixed nanomaterial composites can combine the excellent properties of well-known low-dimensional nanomaterials. Here we highlight the potential of one-dimensional single-walled carbon nanotubes interfaced with two-dimensional graphene by exploring the composite's ac conductivity and photoconductivity, and the influence of HAuCldoping. In the composite, the equilibrium terahertz conductivity from free carrier motion was boosted, while the localised plasmon peak shifted towards higher frequencies, which we attribute to shorter conductivity pathways in the composite. A negative terahertz photoconductivity was observed for all samples under 410 nm optical excitation and was reproduced by a simple model, where the Drude spectral weight and the momentum scattering rate were both lowered under photoexcitation. The composite had an enhanced modulation depth in comparison to reference carbon nanotube films, while retaining their characteristically fast (picosecond) response time. The results show that carbon nanotube-graphene composites offer new opportunities in devices by controlling charge carrier transport and tuning their optoelectronic properties.

Fiber strain sensors are promising for constructing high-performance wearable electronic devices due to their light weight, high flexibility and excellent integration. However, the conductivity of most reported fiber strain sensors is severely degraded, following deformation upon stretching, and it is still a considerable challenge to achieve both high conductivity and stretchability. Herein, we have fabricated a fiber strain sensor with high conductivity and stretchability by integrating the AgNPs into the multi-walled carbon nanotube/graphene/thermoplastic polyurethane (MWCNT/GE/TPU) fiber.

A magnetic nanoadsorbent was prepared via a novel one-pot magnetization method by employing natural carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), polyaniline (PANI) nanotube, and graphene oxide (GO) for the effective adsorption of aflatoxins B1 (AFB1) and B2 (AFB2) from rice samples. This synthesized adsorbent combines the multifunction of CMC, PANI, and GO and shows improved extraction performance. FT-IR, XRD, FE-SEM, VSM, and TGA analyses were used to investigate the successful synthesis of the nanocomposite.
