Abstract

This article describes the preparation of multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) chalcogenide glass composite by the melt-quenching technique. MWCNT composite (Se80Te20)100−xAgx (0 ≤ x ≤ 4) bulk samples are characterized by the XRD, SEM and EDX. The electrical measurements were carried out in the temperature range of the 308-388 K. Cole–Cole plot has been used to determine the electrical conductivity at room temperature. It has been observed that MWCNT chalcogenide composite have higher value of electrical conductivity than pure glass. The results have been discussed on the basis of increased ionic conductivity (Ag+ ions) in MWCNT doped (Se80Te20)100−xAgx (0 ≤ x ≤ 4) bulk samples.
