“…Another simple, but usually multi-step electroless plating technique, molecular level mixing (MLM), has been used to fabricate Cu/graphene composite powders which are subsequently consolidated by SPS [23,34,39,43,50,54,67,74,109]. A schematic diagram of a fabrication process of Cu/RGO nanocomposites by MLM is given in Fig.…”

“…However, additional steps involving the generation of copper oxides (CuO and Cu 2 O) as intermediate products are usually required. Graphene-MNPs hybrids or GNPs can be also used as raw material [34,43,50,54,67]. However, since formation of Cu-O-C chemical bonds (whose origin is in the reaction between the carboxyl or hydroxyl groups and Cu) plays a major role in the adsorption of graphene on the Cu surface, GNPs are usually sensitised and activated by a hydrochloric acid solution of SnCl 2 and PdCl 2 , respectively, beforehand.…”

“…The incorporation of graphene into Cu can lead to grain refinement of the matrix phase [12,22,26,35,37,43,55,61,67,69,73]. The dependency of yield stress (r y ) on grain size (D) generally follows the Hall-Petch relationship [133,134]:…”

“…Since immobilised dislocations also hinder the movement other dislocations, the enhancement of the yield strength in MMCs has been also related to an increase in dislocation density in the matrix (Dq dis ) originated mainly from different thermal contractions [43,54,55,60,67,103], but also from the additional plastic deformation induced by the presence of reinforcing phases during processing [43]. The dependence of the yield stress of composites upon of dislocation density in the matrix can be expressed as [137]:…”

Recent research upon the incorporation of graphene into copper matrix composites is reviewed in detail. An extensive account is given of the large number of processing methods that can be employed to prepare copper/graphene composites along with a description of the microstructures that may be produced. Processing routes that have been employed are described including powder methods, electrochemical processing, chemical vapour deposition, layer-by-layer processing, liquid metal infiltration among a number of others. The mechanical properties of the composites are described in detail along with an account of the structural factors that control mechanical behaviour. The mechanics and mechanisms of deformation are discussed, and the effect of factors such as the graphene content and the type of graphene used, along with processing conditions for the fabrication of the composites, is described. The functional properties of copper/graphene composites are also reviewed including their electrical and thermal properties, and tribological and corrosion behaviour. In each case, the effect of the graphene type and content, and processing conditions are also described. Finally, possible future applications of copper/graphene composites are discussed.

“…Luo et al prepared the Ag‐coated RGO/Cu composites that showed a much enhanced tensile strength relative to uncoated counterpart, while simultaneously maintained the electrical conductivity of Cu. Si et al decorated the TiC or VC coatings on graphene to improve the graphene‐Cu interfacial bonding, resulting in the enhanced tensile strength and wear resistance of graphene/Cu composites. Although such coating method can effectively improve the interfacial adhesion and mechanical properties of graphene/Cu composites, the complicated multistage coating procedures largely inhibit the practically scalable application.…”

Strong graphene‐metal interface is of significant importance for the enhanced mechanical properties of graphene/metal composites. However, the design of robust interface for the specific graphene/Cu composites remains challenging. Here, the authors present a matrix‐alloying method for the interface optimization of reduced graphene oxide (RGO)/CuTi composites in which the Cu matrix is alloyed with a trace of Ti (0.3 at.%). It is found that a 5–20 nm thick TiC layer is in situ formed at the interface of RGO/CuTi composites, which shows a specific orientation relationship with RGO: (200)TiC//(0002)RGO[01¯1]TiC//[1¯210]RGO. The generated TiC layer dramatically enhances the interfacial bonding of RGO/CuTi composite, leading to a yield strength of 242 MPa and a tensile strength of 307 MPa at 2 vol.% RGO loading, 24 and 16% higher than those of 2 vol.% RGO/Cu composite without alloying, respectively. Therefore, the matrix‐alloying is an effective approach for enhancing the interfacial bonding and mechanical properties of graphene/Cu composites.
