These applications typically require good electrical conductivity of the nanofiber yarn. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, preparing polyurethane nanofiber yarn, and then spraying silver nanowire dispersion liquid on the surface of the yarn to prepare conductive composite nanofiber yarn; the method II comprises the following steps: firstly, dispersing graphene oxide in a spinning solution, preparing nano-fiber yarns by electrostatic spinning, and then sequentially soaking the yarns in ferric trichloride and pyrrole solution to obtain conductive nano-fiber yarns; the method comprises the following steps: graphene oxide was dispersed in the spinning solution and receiving bath of wet electrostatic spinning, respectively, and then reduced in hydrazine hydrate vapor to improve the conductivity of the nanofiber yarn. The above method generally requires more than two steps of processes and is complicated in operation, and the yarn itself is poor in uniformity and stability.
