▎ 摘 要
NOVELTY - Ecofriendly graphene-tellurium nanocomposite solder comprises graphene oxide, nanowire shaped tellurium oxide, aided by weed extracts of Euphorbia hirta, where Graphene oxide and nanowire shaped tellurium oxide are used as precursors. USE - The solder is useful in soldering microelectronics packaging and assembly industry. ADVANTAGE - The solder: has melting point 140-180° C; is an eco-friendly non-toxic lead-free soldering material; easily prepared in economical manner and easily fabricated; has good mechanical, chemical and corrosion properties; has high thermal conductivity; utilizes graphene-tellurium nanocomposite which gives high power density and integration, enhances hardness and strength; and has improved shear strength and reduced solder flexibility.
