N2 - By using superaligned carbon nanotube (SACNT) macrostructures as reinforcements, the one-step homoepitaxial growth of SACNT/graphite composites was achieved with a home-built experimental setup at temperatures as high as 2600 °C. Compared with traditional furnace heating method, this approach offers the advantages of increased convenience, high throughput and energy efficiency. This high-temperature homoepitaxy strategy was applied to three kinds of structures: SACNT yarn, SACNT film, and SACNT array. Because of the high temperature which exceeded 1800 °C, the samples after high-temperature homoepitaxy showed increased G/D peak area ratios in the Raman spectra, enhanced mechanical properties and improved thermal properties, all of which can meet the requirements of various applications.
