The invention discloses a
graphene /
metal composite material and a preparation method thereof. The method comprises the following steps of: (1) weighing a
metal rod and a high-purity carbon rod in percentage by
mass, wherein the high-purity carbon rod accounts for 1%-30%; (2) clamping the cleaned
metal rod on an upper chuck and a lower chuck of a withdrawing
system of a
directional solidification furnace adopting a floating zone method, clamping the high-purity carbon rod on a clamp beside the withdrawing
system, and enabling the bottom end of the high-purity carbon rod to be in contact with amelting zone of the metal rod; and (3) performing vacuum-pumping on the
directional solidification furnace adopting the floating zone method, performing
directional solidification on the metal rod, controlling length of a melting zone to be 1-50 mm, moving the metal rod from top to bottom at a rate of 1-5000 [mu]m / s, and rotating along the axis of the withdrawing
system; and enabling the bottom end of the high-purity carbon rod to be within the melting zone of the metal rod all the time. According to the
graphene / metal
composite material obtained by the method disclosed by the invention, carbon exists in a
metal lattice in the form of
graphene, and the two-phase interface is good in combination, so that
conductivity of the material is favorably improved.
