Stems provided mechanical strength as well as a conductive capacity to transport water and nutrients from the roots to the leaves.
Compared with the Cu, Ag, treated Ag and Ag/C coatings, the Ag coating lubricated by PAN grease exhibited superior conductive capacity and excellent boundary-lubricated friction behavior.
Moreover, benefiting from the conductive capacity of Ni2P/NF, the active compound behaved superior lithium storage performance and cycling reversibility during electrochemical cycling process.

This work reveals that the choice of conductive additive influences discharge capacity of LiFePO4 Li-ion battery cells by as much as 20 30%.
A novel polymer is designed to serve as the conductive binder for high-capacity silicon anodes in lithium ion batteries (LIBs), aiming to address fast capacity fade and poor cycle life of silicon anodes caused by large volume change during repeated cycles.
The capacity and conductivity of the conductive polymer PEDOT, which was coated evenly on the surface of BC nanofibers, were exploited sufficiently.
The cell performance turned out to be contrary to resistivity measurements; nickel zinc cells prepared with a less conductive slurry delivered higher capacities.
The remarkable performance of the composite electrode can be reasonably attributed to the synergistic interaction between octahedral CuO nanoparticles with high capacity and the conductive 3D graphene network with a large surface area and an interconnected porous structure.
This unique 3D architecture, which consists of ultrathin g-C3N4 nanosheets sandwiched between conductive rGO networks, exhibits a capacity of 970 mA h g−1 after 300 cycles, which is 15 fold higher than the bulk g-C3N4.
In this study, the mechanical property, conductive performance and self-sensing capacity of two types of ECC, i.e. SF-ECC fabricated with 0.58% steel fiber and 1.75% PVA, and CB-ECC casted with 1% weight ratio to cementitious materials and 1.75% PVA, have been investigated by experiments and numerical simulation.
