Abstract:
Disclosed are a nanometal-nanocarbon hybrid material and a method of manufacturing the same, the method including modifying the surface of nanocarbon to introduce a functional group to conductive nanocarbon; mixing the surface-modified nanocarbon with an isocyanate-based compound and a pyrimidine-based compound and allowing them to react, thus forming a nanocarbon dispersion reactive to metal ions; adding the nanocarbon dispersion with a metal salt precursor, a reducing agent and a solvent, thus manufacturing nanometal particles; and separating a hybrid of the nanometal particles having the nanocarbon bound thereto. Thereby, nanocarbon is mixed with an isocyanate-based compound and a pyrimidine-based compound and then allowed to react, whereby the nanocarbon reactive with metal ions is used as an additive, thus obtaining a nanometal having a low-dimensional shape having less than three dimensions. Also, a nanometal can be hybridized with nanocarbon simultaneously with the formation of the nanometal, and solvent dispersibility is ensured by a functional group formed by mixing and reacting an isocyanate-based compound and a pyrimidine-based compound, ultimately facilitating the preparation of conductive ink or paste.

Abstract:
A high-temperature superconducting wire material comprising: a pre-superconducting wire material layer formed by forcibly removing a metal substrate from a superconducting wire material formed by including the metal substrate, a buffer layer formed on the upper surface of the metal substrate and a superconducting conductive layer formed on the upper surface of the buffer layer; a silver (Ag) protective layer formed on the lower surface of the pre-superconducting wire material layer; and a copper (Cu) protective layer formed on the lower surface of the Ag protective layer. Since a superconducting wire material is formed by stripping a metal substrate of a second-generation high-temperature superconducting wire material and forming a metal protective layer, advantages include the reduction of a magnetization loss due to the magnetism of the substrate, excellent stability of the wire material, and increases in Je (engineering current density) due to the minimization of the thickness of the superconducting wire material.
