Abstract

This paper reports the synthesis of conducting cotton thread strands obtained by dip coating in sodium dodecyl-benzene sulfonate (SDBS) surfactant with dispersed single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT), as a promising candidate for energy storage applications. The effect of the dispersion and SDBS in the dissolved SWCNT solution was detected using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and x-ray diffraction (XRD). XRD confirms that there was good dispersion of SWCNTs on the cotton thread strands obtained by do** employing ethylene glycol (EG) which lowers the corrugation of the cotton thread. FE-SEM images obtained at different magnifications show micro-fibril structure. Energy dispersive x-ray (EDX) analysis confirms the presence of only C, Na and S, ruling out the presence of any elemental impurity. A strong decrease from 3.587Ω to 0.01257Ω in electrical resistance was observed when the concentration of SWCNTs was increased from 0.008049 wt.% to 1.07269 wt.%, indicating that the SWCNTs induced conductive properties in the cotton thread strands. The study shows that sodium dodecyl benzyl sulfonate (SDBS) has the best dispersion of single-walled carbon nanotubes in water when used along with ethylene glycol. The results show that the coated threads can have great industrial applications as conduction wire substitute.
