▎ 摘  要

NOVELTY - Graphene based conducting nanotube composite comprises synergistic combination of graphene oxide and conducting polymer. USE - The graphene based conducting nanotube composite is useful in electronic and electrochemical materials comprising nano-transistor, batteries, capacitors, electrochromic windows, displays, actuators and supercapacitors (claimed). ADVANTAGE - The graphene based conducting nanotube composite: adapted as supercapacitor that provides higher order of conductivity of 10-2-10-4 S cm-1, improved electrochemical properties and is a stable aqueous or alcoholic dispersion at room temperature stable for applications; provides selective graphene oxide doped in conducting polymer adapted for tunable and controllable electrical behavior (claimed); provides in-situ reduction of graphene oxide to conducting reduced graphene oxide, that is free of any external reducing agent, inorganic acids, hazardous chemicals or drastic reaction conditions, hence is environment friendly and economical; and is prepared by simple and user friendly process. DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is also included for preparation of the graphene based conducting nanotube composite comprising either involving graphene oxide embedded with acid functionalities in water and monomer, carrying out polymerization of the monomer involving the embedded acid functionalities of the graphene oxide for the polymerization, and converting graphene oxide to reduced graphene oxide where the graphene oxide is adapted to act as a soft template for the polymerization to form tubular structures of the composite or (a) dispersing graphene oxide in water followed by stirring, (b) sonicating the stirred mixture obtained in step (a), (c) adding precursor monomer to sonicated mixture of step (b) by maintaining a selective weight ratio of graphene oxide to monomer, and (d) adding oxidizing agent to sonicated mixture at 5-15 degrees C, to obtain the composite.
