Abstract. Electrophoretic sedimentation of graphene oxide on both the flat surface of copper foils and on the cylindrical surface of copper wires was investigated. It is shown that during an electrophoresis of the order of minutes, it is possible to obtain graphene oxide (GO) films of micron thicknesses on copper wires, metal foils and anodes of complex shape. It has also been established that self-deposition occurs (without applying voltage) GO from dispersion on Cu, Ni, Al metals. This process is much slower than electrophoresis.
