- Abstract
We show that the presence of electrically insulating graphite oxide (GO) within a single wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) network strongly enhances electrical conductivity, whereas reduced graphite oxide, even though electrically conductive, suppresses electrical conductivity within a composite network with SWCNTs. Measurements of Young’s modulus and of Raman spectra strongly support our interpretation of the “indirect” role of the oxide groups, present in GO within the SWCNT-GO composite, through electronic doping of metallic SWCNTs.
