Electrical conductivity of nano crystalline materials is quite low compared to polycrystalline materials.

Electrical conductivity of nano crystalline materials is quite low compared to polycrystalline materials. Correct Answer True

Nanocrystalline materials have higher electrical resistivity or lower conductivity than polycrystalline materials. This is due to their increased volume fraction of atoms lying at the grain boundaries.
