Background
Copper, copper alloy and copper-based composite materials are widely applied to the industries of aviation, aerospace, electronics, electric power and the like, and along with the rapid development of modern industrial technologies, the materials are required to have high strength and hardness and high conductivity, so that the copper-based composite materials are highly valued in the academic and industrial fields.
The copper-based composite material uses traditional reinforcements, such as carbon fibers, carbon nanotubes, graphite particles and the like, and although the mechanical property can be improved, the electrical conductivity of the copper-based composite material is usually obviously reduced. The graphene is a two-dimensional nano material with a single atomic layer, and the special structure enables the graphene to have excellent mechanical properties (the breaking strength can reach 130 GPa) and electric and heat conduction properties (the mobility of carriers under room temperature can reach 2 x 10) 5 cm 2 V · s, thermal conductivity of about 5000W/(m · K)), is an excellent conductive material under room temperature conditions, and is considered to be an ideal copper-based composite material reinforcement. Due to the unique two-dimensional folded structure of graphene, the graphene-copper composite materials with different configuration designs have great difference in performance, and graphene-copper composite materials with layered and continuous three-dimensional structures can obtain good mechanical and conductive performances, but have certain difficulty in large-scale production.

On the other hand, due to the fact that sintering temperature is high, energy consumption is high, and the orientation and the structure of the graphene and the copper-based material are easily damaged, the graphene in a final product is not uniformly dispersed and easily forms agglomeration at local parts, the orientation is inconsistent, copper materials are recrystallized at high temperature to become complex polycrystal, and a plurality of non-collinear conductive units are formed, so that adverse effects are generated on the conductivity of the composite material, and the conductivity of the composite material is reduced.
