Abstract
In this study, graphene layer was grown on metal microwire using chemical vapor deposition. The difference of carbon solubility between copper and nickel resulted in the formation of mono-layer and multi-layer graphene were formed on the surfaces of copper and nickel microwires, respectively. During the growth of graphene at high temperature, copper and nickel were recrytallized and the grain size increased. The ampacity of graphene/copper microwire was improved by approximately 27%, 1.91×105 A/㎠, compared to pristine copper microwire. Similar to this behavior, the ampacity of multilayer graphene/nickel microwire was 4.41×104 A/㎠ which is about about 36% improved compared to the pure nickel microwire. The excellent electrical properties of graphene/metal composites are beneficial for supplying the electrical energy to the high-power electronic devices and equipment.
