The analysis showed that the as-prepared Ag/SnO2 electrical contact material with fiber-like arrangement of reinforcing nanoparticles exhibits a high elongation of 24 %,a particularly low electrical resistivity of 2.08 μΩ· cm,and low arcing energy,and thus has considerable technical,economical and environmental benefits.展开更多
