Abstract
A metal-plated carbon material includes: a carbon material; and a metal layer covering a surface of the carbon material, in which, in the metal layer, crystal grains forming the metal layer have an average crystal grain size of 110 nm or less. A method of manufacturing a metal-plated carbon material, includes: a metal complex fixation step of immersing a carbon material in a supercritical fluid or subcritical fluid containing an organometallic complex of a first metal; and a first energization deposition step of energizing the metal-complex-fixed carbon material in an electroless plating solution containing a second metal.

A metal-plated carbon material comprising:
- a carbon material;
- and
- a metal layer covering a surface of the carbon material, wherein
- in the metal layer, crystal grains forming the metal layer have an average crystal grain size of 110 nm or less.
A method of manufacturing a metal-plated carbon material, comprising:
- a metal complex fixation step of immersing a carbon material in a supercritical fluid or subcritical fluid containing an organometallic complex of a first metal to form a metal-complex-fixed carbon material in which the organometallic complex is fixed to a surface of the carbon material;
- and
- a first energization deposition step of energizing the metal-complex-fixed carbon material in an electroless plating solution containing a second metal to decompose the organometallic complex of the first metal and deposit the second metal on the surface of the carbon material.
A method of manufacturing a metal-plated carbon material, comprising:
- a metal complex fixation step of immersing a carbon material in a supercritical fluid or subcritical fluid containing an organometallic complex of a first metal to form a metal-complex-fixed carbon material in which the organometallic complex is fixed to a surface of the carbon material;
- and
- a second energization deposition step of energizing the metal-complex-fixed carbon material in a conductive aqueous solution having conductivity of 100 μS/cm or more to decompose the organometallic complex of the first metal and deposit the first metal on the surface of the carbon material.
