Abstract:
Graphene nanosheets(GNSs)/SiC-Cu and carbon nano-tubes(CNTs)/SiC-Cu reinforcements were prepared on the surface of electroless Cu (ECu) plating and photodeposition Cu (PCu) plating SiC-Cu particles respectively by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). The effects of temperature and holding time during the preparation on the layers and the quality of GNSs and CNTs were studied by Raman spectroscopy and SEM. The results show that multilayer GNSs and CNTs are successfully prepared on both the surface of ECu plating and PCu plating SiC-Cu particles by CVD. The GNSs prepared at 1 000℃ for 20 min on ECu plating SiC-Cu particles are successfully obtained with good quality and less layer (almost monolayer). The CNTs in the state of interlaced distribution are found between the copper atoms by SEM, whose diameter ranges 10-45 nm.
