Physico-Chemical Properties and Applications of Conductive Alumina with Nano-carbon Networks Fabricated by Combination of Gelcasting and Reductive Sintering

摘要

Since the initial report of electrically conductive alumina (CA) by Fuji group, a surge of interest has been attracted to develop kinds of practical applications in different fields. It was confirmed in this thesis that both alumina matrix with variable porosity by mechanically forming and nano-carbon networks (NCN) with graphitic electronic structure attributed to the characteristic properties of CA, thereby leaving the considerable applications as energy converters via different technologies.
