Nano carbons, such as graphene and carbon nanotubes, show very interesting electrochemical properties and are becoming a focus of interest in many areas, including electrodeposition of carbon–metal composites for battery application. The aim of this study was to incorporate carbon materials (namely oxidized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (ox-MWCNT), pristine multi-walled carbon nanotubes (P-MWCNT), and reduced graphene oxide (rGO)) into a metallic tin matrix. Formation of the carbon–tin composite materials was achieved by electrodeposition from a choline chloride-based ionic solvent. The different structures and treatments of the carbon materials will create metallic composites with different characteristics. The electrochemical characterization of Sn and Sn composites was performed using chronoamperometry, potentiometry, electrochemical impedance, and cyclic voltammetry. The initial growth stages of Sn and Sn composites were characterized by a glassy-carbon (GC) electrode surface. Nucleation studies were carried out, and the effect of the carbon materials was characterized using the Scharifker and Hills (SH) and Scharifker and Mostany (SM) models. Through a non-linear fitting method, it was shown that the nucleation of Sn and Sn composites on a GC surface occurred through a 3D instantaneous process with growth controlled by diffusion. According to Raman and XRD analysis, carbon materials were successfully incorporated at the Sn matrix. AFM and SEM images showed that the carbon incorporation influences the coverage of the surface as well as the size and shape of the agglomerate. From the analysis of the corrosion tests, it is possible to say that Sn-composite films exhibit a comparable or slightly better corrosion performance as compared to pure Sn films.

“…In general, the hydrophilic property at the interface and the difference in specific gravity between a metal matrix and filled CNTs make it difficult to fabricate a metal-CNT composite film with uniformly distributed CNTs and a good tribological behavior. Metal-CNT composite films have been fabricated [34][35][36][37], using various types of metals (Ni, Cu and Ag) by composite plating [38][39][40][41][42][43][44]. However, the pH levels of plating baths, being on the acidic side, are low.…”

Gold was used by Chinese and Egyptians of ancient times (at least ca 3000 BC). For many years, gold based materials have received great attention from people, due to the good conductor, high chemical stability, unique optical and processable properties. Electrodeposition technology is a long established technique for synthesizing metals on conductive substrates. Advances in equipment and creations of nanomaterials could carry out new technological progress, a large duty ratio with a pulse overvoltage became possible and new composite fillers (for example, carbon nanotubes: CNTs) appeared. Moreover, environmental considerations have become more important as Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). SDGs were adopted at the United Nations Summit in September 2015 and are the goals set by the 193 member countries to achieve in the 15 years from 2016 to 2030. For the global environment and workers, friendly manufacturing methods have become more important. In this chapter, two nanostructured golds (hard pure-gold plating and gold-CNT composite plating) are discussed. They are a method of hardening the metal as pure-gold by pulsed electrodeposition and a method of combining CNT by controlling the zeta potential with additives, and their application as a contact material was investigated. Additionally, the synthesis and characteristics of electrostatic deposition films with properties using environmentally friendly sulfite bath are discussed.

“…Copper electroless deposition on CNTs using chemical reducing agents in place of an external power source is a relatively unexplored approach [2]. Arai et al prepared Cu-MWCNT and Cu-SWCNT composites using glyoxylic acid as a reducing agent; however, surfactants and high-energy disaggregation methods (e.g., mechanical atomization) were necessary to obtain well-dispersed CNTs in copper matrix [12][13][14]. Using a different approach, our group has successfully transferred expertise in electroless deposition of copper from alumina to CNT surfaces [15,16].…”

Understanding the effect of carbon nanotube functionalization on copper electrodeposition

The dynamics of electrochemical deposition and dissolution of copper in the presence of functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes in solution has been studied in detail using an electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance. Results demonstrate the central role of carbon nanotube functionalization on the values of mass and current densities of copper deposition. Amine functionalization increases competitive hydrogen evolution without significantly affecting the total amount of deposited copper, whereas carboxylic functionalization clearly enhances the deposition of larger amounts of smoother copper deposits. Molar mass analysis of deposited species reveals interactions of carbon nanotubes with the electrode surface dependent on the type of functionalization. The effect of carbon nanotube functionalization should be closely considered in the development of electrochemical strategies for the integration of carbon nanotubes in metallic copper.
