Example 4
On the basis of the embodiment 2, other conditions are controlled to be unchanged, and the current densities in the electroplating process are respectively changed as follows: 0.5A/dm2、1A/dm2、1.5A/dm2、2A/dm2、2.5A/dm2. The change of the conductivity and the super-hydrophobicity is shown in table 1:
TABLE 1
As can be seen from table 1, the sheet resistance of the composite plating layer continuously decreased as the current density increased. Under the condition that other conditions are not changed, the thickness of the plating layer can be increased by increasing the current density, so that the conductivity of the plating layer is improved.
In addition, the super-hydrophobic property of the coating is observed to increase and then decrease with the increase of the current density. When the current density is low, the flaky copper particles of the coating are mutually dispersed, and an air film layer with enough air can not be trapped, so that a stable super-hydrophobic model is difficult to form. When the current density is high, the flaky copper particles are easy to aggregate, and the super-hydrophobic property is reduced. Therefore, when the current density is 1A/dm2And meanwhile, the super-hydrophobic property of the coating is optimal, the flaky copper particles are overlapped in a staggered mode to form a stable Cassie-Baxter model, a large amount of air is trapped between the particles, and the hydrophobicity of the particles is improved.

It can be seen that the copper-graphene composite coating cannot form super-hydrophobic performance similar to that of the Cu-CNTs composite coating.
(2) And (3) testing the conductivity: the conductivity of the copper-graphene composite plating layer prepared by the embodiment is characterized by a four-probe sheet resistance meter, and the sheet resistance is 0.016 omega/sq.
