METHOD OF MAKING METAL/CARBON NANOTUBE COMPOSITE MATERIALS BY ELECTROPLATING

摘要

A method for producing metal/carbon nano-tube composite materials is provided to distribute the carbon nano-tube at the molecule level in the composite materials. A method includes the steps of: dipping carbon nano-tubes in an acid solution, followed by cutting, filtrating and thermal treating, adding the thermally treated carbon nano-tubes and cationic surfactant to a metal electroplating solution containing a metal or metal salt and distributing the carbon nano-tubes, installing cathode and anode in the metal electroplating solution containing carbon nano-tubes and cationic surfactant, and applying a current for electroplating to prepare metal/carbon nano-tube composite materials in a thin film.
