According to Tehrani (2020), Advanced electrical conductors that surpass

copper and aluminum have the potential to transform our lives by enabling
billions of dollars in energy savings and easing the transition to an electric
mobility future. Nanocarbons offer a one-of-a-kind opportunity for developing
advanced conductors for electrical power, communications, electronics, and
electric machines for the defense, energy, and automotive industries.
Aluminum (Al), copper (Cu), gold (Au), and silver (Ag) are the most electrically
conductive metals and are thus used as conductor materials in various
applications.

According to Hamedi (2017), The weight of electrical and electronic

components and wire harnesses is increasing due to added functions such as
safety and comfort in all types of vehicles. It is estimated that a 10% weight
reduction in a passenger vehicle can contribute to a 3-4% reduction in fuel
consumption, and a 5% reduction in fuel consumption can be obtained for
heavy vehicles such as buses and trucks if heavy materials are replaced with
lighter materials. The most prevalent conductors and wire harness systems
are composed of copper, which is more expensive with variable prices and
heavier than aluminum. In current automobiles, a variety of stranded wires
and conductors are employed, but high voltage wire harnesses with new
types of electrical connections are being created to meet the requirement for
weight reduction.

According to Soule (2020), Carbon nanotube (CNT) wires are lightweight and
durable substitutes for traditional metal conductors. CNT conductors' weight
reductions, higher flexure tolerance, and corrosion resistance make them a
feasible alternative for a wide range of space, defense, and power
transmission applications. Because carbon nanotubes have a density that is
roughly 89 percent less than that of copper, replacing conventional copper
wire with carbon nanotube conductors might allow for higher payloads and
lower fuel costs in a range of aerospace applications.

According to Goodman (2002), Gold has a wide range of applications

in electronics and electrical equipment. It is used on connectors and contacts
because it has excellent corrosion resistance, high electrical conductivity, and
good wear resistance when alloyed with small amounts of nickel or cobalt.
Metal resistivity is vital for electrical contacts, although contact resistance,
which is dependent on other factors, may be more important. Both voltage
and contact pressure influence localised heating, which can result in surface
oxidation (but not gold) or melting of the surface.
