Graphene–nickel composites

Producing cobalt–graphene composite coating by pulse electrodeposition with excellent wear and corrosion resistance

“…Therefore, the composite coatings with superior properties from the codeposition of GO with metal ions can be expected and are feasible. Recently, some works have been done in studying the application of GO in nickel (Ni) electrodeposition [14,15]. Kuang solution with GO sheets in suspension.…”

Structural and sliding wear properties of Ag/Graphene/WC hybrid nanocomposites produced by electroless co-deposition

“…4c and d on the surface of the composites. These endwise dispersions are signs of homogeneous dispersion of reduced Graphene sheets in the silver matrix [20]. As shown in Fig.…”

“…There is a considerable amount of porosity in the as deposited Ag/Graphene and Ag/WC/Graphene composite structures, which is an indication of partial permeability of Graphene for ions to deposit on substrate. It has been shown that the Graphene layers interact with each other to generate an open pore structure, which provides an easy path for the insertion and extraction of electrolyte ions through the Graphene surfaces [20]. It can be found some endwise sheets penetrated into the coated layer shown from the Fig.…”

Excellent strength–ductility combination in nickel-graphite nanoplatelet (GNP/Ni) nanocomposites

“…On the other hand, Latief et al fabricated Al-GNP composites via powder metallurgy route exhibited improved mechanical properties and corrosion resistance [6]. Kuang et al electrodeposited nickel-graphene composite coatings that have shown about 15% improvement in thermal conductivity and about 4 times enhancement in hardness over that of pure nickel [3].…”
