▎ 摘  要

Carbon nanotube (CNT) films have demonstrated great potential for highly efficient thermal management materials. However, how to enable a combined feature of excellent thermal conductivity and structural robustness, which is crucial for the high-performance realization, still remains challenging. Herein, an effective and facile strategy to solve the problem was proposed by developing a graphene (G)/CNT film with highly aligned welding of ultrathin G layer to robust CNT film. The unique architectural features of the obtained composite film enabled a high tensile strength (116 MPa) and electric conductivity (1.7 x 10(3) S cm(-1)). Importantly, the thermal conductivity was significantly improved compared to neat CNT film, and reached as high as 174 W m(-1) K-1. In addition, the G/CNT film featured a superior electromagnetic shielding performance. This work provides useful guidelines for designing and fabricating the composite CNT film with prominent thermal conductivity, as well as excellent mechanical and electrical properties.
