Li, ZhengKhuje, SaurabhIslam, AbdullahRen, ShenqiangHigh-temperature capable materials, metals, and ceramics are attracting significant interest for applications in extreme environmental conditions. Herein, a hybrid metal-reinforced ceramic matrix material consisting of preceramic-derived high-temperature SiOC and copper nanoplates is reported, enabling the manufacturing of high-temperature sensing electronics. The preceramic polymer precursors including polydimethylsiloxane and polydimethylsilane, together with copper nanoplates, are thermally converted into durable copper-reinforced SiOC ceramics. The presence of copper in SiOC ceramics enhances its electrical conductivity, while SiOC suppresses oxygen uptake and acts as a shield for oxidation to achieve high-temperature thermal resistance and negative temperature coefficient at high temperatures. A comprehensive electric and sensing performance, combined with cost-effectiveness and scalability, can facilitate the utilization of hybrid Cu and SiOC composites in high-temperature electronics.en-USArticle
