NANOTWINNED COPPER-GRAPHENE FOILS -- A BRIEF REVIEW.

The paper reviews the approaches for copper-graphene composites synthesis. The optimization of electrochemical deposition method both for pure nanotwinned copper and nanotwinned copper - graphene foils production is discussed. It is shown that two-step deposition including the buffer pure nanotwinned copper layer deposition followed by copper-graphene layer deposition provides the nanotwinned modification of the metal in the material matrix. The analysis of the effect of non-ionic surfactants used to stabilize graphene concentration in sulfur electrolyte during the long-time deposition gives an opportunity to consider surfactants application as a promising approach to solve this task. Summary of the mechanical test results shows the positive effect of graphene introduction on the mechanical properties of the material. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
