Abstract

Thin layers of highly conductive graphitic carbon are deposited onto nickel‐plated steel substrates using a direct photothermal chemical vapor deposition (PTCVD) technique. The coated nickel‐plated steel substrates improve electrical properties (sheet resistance and interfacial contact resistance [ICR]) compared with pristine nickel‐plated steel, which makes it a cost‐effective alternative to stainless steel for steel producers to use in high‐end electrical applications such as energy storage and microelectronics. The coated nickel‐plated steel is found to have ≈10% reduction in sheet resistance and 200 times reduction in ICR (under compression at 140 N cm−2), compared with pristine nickel‐plated steel. ICR is also three times lower than that of a benchmark gold‐coated stainless steel equivalent at the same pressure.
