Problems solved by technology

However, carbon nanotubes have hydrophobic properties, especially in the macroscopic carbon nanotube film, which makes it difficult for the commonly used aqueous electrodeposition solution to wet carbon nanotubes and their film materials, and the metal cations in the electrodeposition solution The resistance of deposition on the surface of carbon nanotube film is relatively high, so it is difficult to effectively obtain metal particle deposition

Although the electrodeposition process of some metals can use non-aqueous ion electrodeposition liquid, but the price of this type of electrodeposition liquid is relatively high, and the production cost will be greatly increased.

In addition, the surface of the carbon nanotube film is irregular in the microstructure, which will cause the uneven distribution of the current, which directly leads to the uneven distribution of the deposited metal.

In summary, conventional electrodeposition methods are difficult to effectively and uniformly grow metal particles on the surface of carbon nanotube films.
