Abstract:

The utilisation of metal coating technology, including reduced graphene oxide (rGO), has garnered significant interest due to its potential for developing high-performance materials. Our study examined three distinct techniques for depositing rGO coatings: electromagnetic wave plasma, RF sputtering, and high-temperature vacuum evaporation. We compared how well this technique works for making consistent and high-quality metal coatings with reduced graphene oxide (rGO). The electromagnetic wave plasma technique was able to produce rGO layers that were evenly thick and well spread out. This technique facilitates meticulous manipulation of process variables, enabling the fabrication of coatings with the intended microstructure. The RF sputtering approach offers benefits in producing layers that exhibit robust adhesion between reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and metal substrates, leading to compact and homogeneous structures with precise control over surface shape. High-temperature vacuum evaporators can generate fragile layers with exceptional purity, rendering them well-suited for applications requiring exact layer thickness and meticulous control over chemical composition. This study the benefits and drawbacks of each coating method using reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and its potential application in creating novel materials. By better understanding the unique features and effectiveness of each method, we can improve the design and production of metal coatings with reduced graphene oxide (rGO) for future uses, especially in generators
