Abstract
We developed a gold–carbon nanotube (Au–CNT) composite plating film by electrodeposition. An effective additive was added into a non-cyanide CNT plating solution, affording an environmentally friendly method for fabricating an Au–CNT composite plating film using a basic solvent. The fabricated Au–CNT composite film was harder than the Au film by 1.4 times and showed a low friction coefficient. Thus, the Au–CNT composite film could be considered as a promising material for next-generation electrical contact applications.
