AB  - We demonstrate a sustainable post-processing of carbon fiber reinforced epoxy polymer (CFRP) composites by air plasma etching that permits regular electroconductive surface patterning through direct Cu galvanic metallization, in contrast to the untreated composite. Our study reveals a significant property dependence of the composite with respect to the position to the fiber/matrix composite surface and treatment. The enhancement in electrical conductivity was not compromised by the lower structural integrity of the composite, as the embedded carbon fibers remained unaffected by the air plasma etching process. The metallized Cu domains on the composite exhibit good hardness and excellent solderability potential. Thus, the electroconductive surface patterning of the composite, preceding galvanic metallization, facilitates the selective deposition of Cu layer domains. This step by step process, relying on the creation of selective electroconductive areas on the composite by plasma etching, enables galvanic metallization. Consequently, it enhances the potential for multifunctional composite applications. The feasibility of galvanic metallization brings new perspectives in selective metallization of composites by allowing the tailoring of the metal layer thickness, microstructure and selection of the metal.

AB  - The conductivity and the state of the surface of supports are of vital importance for metallization via electrodeposition. In this study, we show that the metallization of a carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) can be carried out directly if the intermediate graphene oxide (GO) layer is chemically reduced on the CFRP surface. Notably, this approach utilizing only the chemically reduced GO as a conductive support allows us to obtain insights into the interaction of rGO and the electrodeposited metal. Our study reveals that under the same contact current experimental conditions, the electrodeposition of Cu and Ni on rGO follows significantly different deposition modes, resulting in the formation of three-dimensional (3D) and free-standing metallic foils, respectively. Considering that Ni adsorption energy is larger than Ni cohesive energy, it is expected that the adhesion of Ni on rGO@CFRP is enhanced compared to Cu. In contrast, the adhesion of deposited Ni is reduced, suggesting diffusion of H+ between rGO and CFRP, which promotes the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and results in the formation of free-standing Ni foils. We ascribe this phenomenon to the unique properties of rGO and the nature of Cu and Ni deposition from electrolytic baths. In the latter, the high adsorption energy of Ni on defective rGO along with HER is the key factor for the formation of the porous layer and free-standing foils. © 2022 The Authors.
