Abstract

The copper cables used has many drawbacks and losses like i^2 r losses and the tensile strength etc. In order to reduce these losses the evolution of Cugraphene composite has evolved. This new power lines will contain the addition of graphene(less in ratio proportion) than that of copper (base metal) in the commercial power transmission cables has made a new flourished trend. Graphene is 200 times stronger than steel and 500 times stronger than copper, and it has much tensile strength with copper. Though graphene transfers electrons at much faster rate hence it replaces the conventional cables with improved efficiency. The current density of graphene is 10^6 times greater than copper and its intrinsic mobility is 1000 times more conductive than silicon. Therefore it conducts electricity much better than copper. The thermal conductivity is 2000 Watts per meter per kelvin which is 5 times higher than copper, so it conducts heat better than any other known material. The electrons in the valence shell are free to move, so it conducts electricity much faster than copper, therefore the electrical conductivity is also high. Using CVD [Chemical Vapor Deposition], the Cu GRAF is kept between 800 and 900 degree Celsius. Then they are tested it in saline water and witnessed to corrosion almost that with the existing commercial copper.
