This paper reports a facile and environment-friendly process to synthesize electrically conductive porous alumina/graphite composites by starch consolidation technique followed by reductive sintering. Green ceramic composites were consolidated with different starches and sintered at different temperatures in an argon atmosphere. Electrical measurements, carbon contents and Raman analyses of carbon structures determined an optimal sintering temperature of 1700 degrees C, which lead to a uniform formation of conductive graphitic networks at an optimal concentration of about 3.8 vol% in the porous composites. These carbon networks resulted into porous composites having high electrical conductivities measured in the range from 3 to 7 S/cm, which depended on the starch types and their porous properties. Correspondingly, the bulk porosities of the sintered composites were measured from 42 to 46%, with rounded micropores having diameters ranging from 14 to 39 mu m. These porous properties of the sintered composites offer promising applications for conductive membrane and porous electrode. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
