Abstract

L'invention concerne un nouveau procédé de formation, sur au moins une électrode, d'un film d'un carbone nanocristallin avec une structure 1D, 2D, ou 3D et/ou un diamant nanocristallin et/ou un carbone amorphe et/ou un composite de nanomatériau métal-carbone, ledit composite contenant un métal pauvre ou un métal de transition, et/ou un mélange de ceux-ci, par réduction électrochimique d'un composé organique oxygéné et d'un cation métallique simultanément dans des conditions ambiantes à un potentiel de début non supérieur à 10 volts en présence d'un électrolyte et de ladite au moins une électrode, ladite électrode comprenant un matériau métallique, ledit matériau métallique étant un ou plusieurs des éléments suivants : un élément pauvre, un élément de transition et un alliage de ceux-ci. Les conditions ambiantes et le potentiel de début permis par les modes de réalisation simplifient la production, et la zone de revêtement et le taux de croissance du film peuvent être mis à l'échelle pour atteindre une échelle de production de masse pour application de revêtement. Un film de carbone nanocristallin obtenu par le nouveau procédé comprend une structure 1D, 2D ou 3D et/ou un diamant nanocristallin et/ou un carbone amorphe et/ou un composite de nanomatériau métal-carbone, ledit composite contenant un métal de post-transition ou un métal de transition. Un tel produit de film peut être un mélange ayant diverses structures de carbone comprenant : un diamant nanocristallin, un carbone amorphe, un carbone graphitique et un composite de nanomatériau métal-carbone, ledit composite contenant un métal pauvre ou un métal de transition. Ledit produit de film peut en outre comprendre un graphite ou un graphène. Les produits de film selon les modes de réalisation contiennent sensiblement plus de types de structure, et sont ainsi plus polyvalents que ceux actuellement disponibles dans le commerce.
