Abstract

The invention discloses a graphene-coated energy-saving metal lead preparation method, belonging to the technical field of reducing power transmission metal lead resistance. The method comprises: preparing a graphene material coating layer on the peripheral surface of a metal lead in a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method; and placing a bare metal lead in a reactor, adding a carbon source, and performing graphene CVD in the growth temperature between 601 DEG C and 1200 DEG C under the protection of argon and hydrogen to obtain a graphene layer. The conductivity ratio of a metal lead of the invention is one order of magnitudes higher than a traditional metal core; besides, a largest current carrying capacity allowed by a graphene material of a same cross section is 3-6 orders of magnitudes higher than a traditional metal lead. The graphene-coated energy-saving metal lead can effectively improve a conductive capability and greatly reduce transmission loss, aim at substantially enhancing lead performance on the aspects of conductive performance, mechanical performance and durability, and solve the problems that a current transmission line mainly depends on metal, and is high in line loss, and poor in mechanical property.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of reducing the resistance of power transmission metal wires, in particular to a preparation method of graphene-coated energy-saving metal wires. Background technique [0002] Energy-saving power grid is one of the important directions for the future development of transmission network, which is of great significance to energy conservation, emission reduction and improvement of energy utilization efficiency. Judging from the current transmission loss of the power grid, the loss of long-distance transmission mainly depends on the resistance of the wire. If the resistance of the transmission line can be greatly reduced through technological means, it is expected to significantly reduce the transmission loss. At present, all kinds of high-conductivity wires developed by the industry are mainly made of metal alloy materials. Through metal compounding, materials with relatively balanced strength and conductivity ...
