Abstract
Disclosed herein are methods and systems for the electrochemical deposition of graphitic carbon from molten carbonate salts onto either mild steel or graphite electrodes. The carbon deposition methods disclosed herein allows for rapid formation of a deposit layer, with growth rate tunable by applied potential.
Claims20
A method for making graphitic carbon comprising:
- applying a voltage to an electrode at least partially submerged in a molten salt;
- and
- providing a carbon source to the molten salt;
- and depositing graphitic carbon on the electrode and isolating the graphitic carbon from the electrode.
