[0002] With increasingly stringent performance requirements for cables, the stability and conductivity of traditional cable materials under high-temperature, low-temperature, and high-pressure environments face challenges. In particular, the grain boundary scattering problem of novel materials such as graphene limits their application in high-performance cables. Graphene possesses excellent conductivity, but its grain boundary defects lead to resistive losses, affecting overall performance. Furthermore, the topological insulator Bi₂Se₃ exhibits dissipation-free edge state characteristics and demonstrates good conductivity at low temperatures, thus becoming a potential material for solving the grain boundary problem of graphene.

[0073] Performance testing:
[0074] 1. Superconducting property testing
[0075] The resistance change of the sample was measured using a four-probe method or a miniature thermocouple. The sample was gradually cooled to 20 K, and the resistance change with temperature was recorded to determine the critical temperature (Tc), which is the temperature at which the resistance suddenly drops to near zero. Then, a current was gradually applied at the low temperature, and the current-voltage (IV) characteristics were recorded until the resistance of the sample increased, thus determining the critical current density (Jc), which is the value at which the superconducting material loses its superconductivity. This test was performed according to the method in GB / T 2900.10-2013.
[0076] Table 1. Critical temperature and critical current density data for each sample

[0078] 2. High-frequency transmission performance
[0079] Prepare cable samples ranging from 30 cm to 50 cm in length, ensuring the ends are clean. Next, connect both ends of the cable using a Keysight E5071C network analyzer for testing. The dielectric loss (tanδ) test measures energy loss over a frequency range of 1 kHz to 1 MHz using the network analyzer, while the characteristic impedance is calculated from the reflection and transmission coefficients, with common standard values of 50 Ω or 75 Ω. Recording this data allows for the evaluation of the cable's suitability for high-frequency applications, particularly for communication and power transmission. Finally, analyze the obtained tanδ and characteristic impedance values, plotting the relationship between frequency and tanδ / characteristic impedance to determine the cable's high-frequency transmission performance.
[0080] Table 2. High-frequency transmission performance test data for each sample
[0081] sample Dielectric loss (tanδ) Characteristic impedance (Ω) Example 1 0.01 50 Example 2 0.011 51 Example 3 0.009 49 Comparative Example 1 0.015 53 Comparative Example 2 0.018 55 Comparative Example 3 0.013 52
[0082] Based on the above test data, we can conclude that:
[0083] (1) The critical temperature and critical current density of the embodiment are significantly higher than those of the comparative example, showing higher superconducting performance, which verifies the positive effect of Bi2Se3 and graphene composite on superconducting performance.
[0084] (2) The dielectric loss of Examples 1 and 3 is significantly lower than that of Comparative Examples 1 and 2. In addition, the characteristic impedances of Examples 1 and 3 are 50 Ω and 49 Ω, respectively, which are close to the standard values, while the characteristic impedances of Comparative Examples 1 and 2 are higher, which may affect the signal transmission efficiency. This further proves the effect of Bi2Se3 and graphene composite on improving the high-frequency performance of the cable.
[0085] 3. Tensile property test
[0086] Tensile property testing was conducted according to GB / T 12706.1-2020 standard. During testing, cable samples approximately 100 mm in length, 10 mm in width, and 1 mm in thickness were clamped into the fixtures of an Instron 5900 universal testing machine, ensuring a smooth sample surface and proper clamping. The experiment was conducted at room temperature, with a testing speed of 1 mm / min and a uniform tensile force applied. Tensile strength and elongation at break were measured and recorded using stress-strain curves. Tensile strength was calculated as the stress value at which the sample experienced maximum stress, and elongation at break was the percentage change in length before and after sample fracture. The experimental data will be used to evaluate the reinforcing effect of the carbon fiber matrix on the tensile properties of the cable.

[0089] 4. Bending fatigue test
[0090] Prepare cable samples with a length of 30 cm to 50 cm, ensuring the end faces are clean. Mount the cable samples in a bending test apparatus, set the bending radius to 3-5 cm, and perform 1000 cycles of bending to simulate bending fatigue during long-term use. Stop the test after every 100 cycles, measure the cable resistance using a digital ohmmeter or a four-probe method, and record the resistance change. After completing 1000 cycles, measure and record the final resistance of the cable, and calculate the resistance change rate. If the resistance change rate is less than 5%, it indicates that the cable has good bending resistance and is suitable for long-term use.
[0091] Table 4. Data on the resistance change rate of each sample
[0092] sample Rate of change in resistance (%) Example 1 2.5 Example 2 3.0 Example 3 2.0 Comparative Example 1 5.5 Comparative Example 2 6.2 Comparative Example 3 4.8
[0093] Based on the above test data, we can conclude that:
[0094] (1) The tensile strength and elongation at break of Examples 1-3 were significantly higher than those of Comparative Examples 1 and 2, indicating that the Bi2Se3 and graphene composite material improved the tensile strength and toughness of the cable.
[0095] (2) The resistance change rates of Examples 1 and 3 were 2.5% and 2.0%, respectively, which were much lower than those of Comparative Examples 1 and 2, indicating that the resistance change was small after 1000 bending cycles. This shows that the Bi2Se3 and graphene composite material significantly improved the bending fatigue resistance of the cable, making it more suitable for long-term use in complex environments.
[0096] 5. Temperature resistance test
[0097] Temperature resistance testing was conducted according to GB / T 2423.22-2012 standard. During testing, cable samples with a length of 30 cm to 50 cm were prepared, ensuring the end faces were clean. The samples were placed in a high-low temperature cycling chamber, with the temperature range set from -40℃ to 80℃, and subjected to 50 cycles. In each cycle, the cable samples were held at -40℃ and 80℃ for 1 hour respectively, and the conductivity of the samples was measured using a digital resistance meter or a four-probe method after each temperature stage.

[0099] sample Rate of change in conductivity (%) Example 1 2.0 Example 2 3.0 Example 3 1.8 Comparative Example 1 6.0 Comparative Example 2 7.2 Comparative Example 3 5.0
[0100] The Bi2Se3 and graphene composite material significantly improved the conductivity stability of the cable. In particular, in Example 3, the optimized deposition temperature resulted in the lowest conductivity change rate of 1.8%, exhibiting the best temperature resistance. In contrast, the conductivity change rates of Comparative Examples 1 to 33 were higher, indicating that the lack of the Bi2Se3 and graphene composite material significantly reduced the temperature resistance of the cable, leading to larger conductivity changes.
[0101] 6. Insulation performance test
[0102] Prepare cable samples with a length of 15 cm to 30 cm, ensuring the end faces are clean and undamaged. For the breakdown field strength test, connect the cable sample to a DC power supply, gradually apply voltage until the insulation layer breaks down, record the breakdown voltage, and calculate the breakdown field strength. For the volume resistivity test, cut a sample of the cable insulation layer, measure the current using the four-probe method, and calculate the resistivity.
[0103] The formula for calculating the breakdown field strength is:
[0104]
[0105] Where E is the breakdown field strength (kV / mm), V is the breakdown voltage (kV), and d is the insulation layer thickness (mm).
[0106] The formula for calculating volume resistivity is:
[0107]
[0108] Where, ρ ν V is the volume resistivity (Ω·m), V is the applied voltage (V), and A is the cross-sectional area of the sample (m²). 2 I is the measured current (A), and l is the length of the sample (m).

[0111] The Bi2Se3-graphene composite material significantly improved the cable's breakdown resistance and electrical insulation performance. In particular, Example 3, with optimized process conditions, resulted in the cable exhibiting optimal breakdown field strength (21 kV / mm) and volume resistivity (2.6 × 10⁻⁶). 11 Ω·m).
