The Original Carbon-Copper Compound as a New Source of Electric Power

Abstract:

The original method of electrochemical sedimentation of ultra-dispersed graphitefrom the colloid mixture on the polystalline copper cathode is designed.An interfacetransition region of several microns thickness is formed. Formation of electric potentialbetween the copper substrate and the graphite layer is observed. A mechanism of this effect is studied using the computer quantum mechanics simulation. A high level of precision cannot be maintained over large areas, so that large-area devices are currently difficult to fabricate. By contrast, we have noted that the dielectric elastomer actuators themselves set the gap, so that the gap can be formed in only a single step, film deposition on a flat surface. By using monolithic polymer substrates, one should be able to make large-area arrays of dielectric elastomer actuators.
