We developed carbon nanotube wires (CNWs) and monitored in situ their electrical properties at high temperature conditions for the first time. The dominant type of CNTs present in the material and packing density of thereof proved to have a dominant effect on the thermal stability of CNWs. Furthermore, we showed that kinetics of CNW oxidation plays an important role and slow heating rates or prolonged heating times are essential for the proper determination of thermal stability of CNTs. To enhance the stability at high temperatures, we applied SiC coating onto the CNWs, what allowed a 300 degrees C improvement to the operational window, eventually reaching 700 degrees C in the long-haul. Correlation of the change in electrical properties with thermogravimetric response showed that the loss of electrical percolation takes place at 100 degrees C lower temperature than the last observed weight loss in CNTs content. Finally, we demonstrated feasibility of SiC-coated CNWs under high temperature conditions, by creating a heating device out of them. The presence of SiC layer gave rise to a significant improvement to the thermal stability of the CNT heaters, which now offer unprecedented range of operation reaching 700 degrees C, as compared to 400 degrees C when uncoated.
