Abstract
Carbon materials comprise a wide range of microstructures and excellent electrical and thermal properties while being cost-effective and readily available. They can be obtained through carbothermal processes at high temperatures, starting from cellulose. Catalytically active compounds, for example, iron salts, strongly influence the carbon microstructure during the graphitization process. Different degrees of structural order can, therefore, be achieved by adjusting the concentration of the iron salts. An infusion withdrawal impregnation approach is used on filter paper to prepare a continuous gradient of the carbon microstructure. This structural change is accompanied by a continuous variation of the closely related electrical and thermal transport properties. Even more, the synergistic interplay of local sheet resistance and thermal diffusivity results in the formation of switchable temperature gradients when an external current is applied. Steady state temperature differences of up to 80 °C are observed along the centimeter-scaled samples. The controllable temperature gradient formation will be of great interest for applications requiring a fast temperature screening. Furthermore, the temperature gradient can be imposed onto other materials, which will be particularly relevant for advanced thin film characterization applications.
