금속동-흑연복합분말을 제조하기 위하여 염화동을 흑연주위에서 수소환원시킴으로써 흑연표면에 금속동을 석출시키는 새로운 방법으로 흑연-금속동 복합재료를 제조하고자 하였으며, 이를 위해 325 mesh이하의 KISH및 천연흑연을 모재로 하여 350-50$0^{\circ}C$의 환원온도에서 염화동을 환원시키는 실험을 실시하였다. 금속동의 분산도는 환원온도가 낮을수록 양호한 것으로 나타났으며, 금속동의 분산도를 높이기 위해서는 가능한한 환원온도를 낮게하는 것이 유리한 것으로 나타났다.
Abstract It has been attempted to make the copper-graphite composites by deposition of copper on the surface of graphite through the hydrogen reduction of copper chlorides. Both KISH and natural graphites of less than 325 mesh were used as substrates and the hydrogen reduction also was conducted in the range of 350-50$0^{\circ}C$. The distribution of copper on the surface of graphite was found to increase with the decrease of reduction temperature. In addition. the partial pressure of hydrogen played an important role in the overall rate of reduction which was substantially dominated by the chemical reaction on the surface of each particle. It was concluded that the reduction temperature should be maintained as low as possible to accomplish the well distribution of copper in the composites.
