Abstract

The electrodeposition of copper particles inside carbon nanotube (CNT) tissues is presented here. Copper electrodeposition inside CNT from aqueous electrolytes has been challenging researchers in recent years, as deposition was mostly restricted to the external surface of the tissue. This work introduces several organic additives, promoting deposition inside the tissue, as well. Electrochemical methods were applied and utilized in order to study the behavior of the CNT in the plating bath, and to analyze the effect of different additives on the deposition of the copper particles. Surface morphology of the coating and the deposits inside the tissue were examined and studies. This work presents an alternative method for the deposition and implementation of copper crystals inside CNT tissue.
