摘要

Fused deposition modeling (FDM)-based metal additive manufacturing offers a practical route for producing geometrically customizable metallic electrodes; however, post-processing and surface modification are critical for obtaining suitable electrochemical performance. In this study, 17-4PH stainless-steel electrodes were fabricated using a metal-polymer composite filament, followed by debinding and graphite-assisted sintering to reduce surface oxidation and preserve electrical functionality. Ni-based coatings were subsequently electrodeposited from an Ethaline-based deep eutectic solvent containing Ni2+ under applied potentials of −1, −1.5, and −2 V. The effects of electrodeposition potential on surface morphology, elemental composition, phase structure, surface bonding, and electrochemical performance were investigated using SEM/EDS, XRD, FTIR, chronoamperometry, cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic charge–discharge, cycling stability, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. SEM and EDS analyses confirmed the formation of a Ni-enriched surface layer after electrodeposition. Electrochemical results showed that the electrode deposited at −2 V exhibited the highest areal capacitance of 517 mF cm.−2 at 10 mV s−1. GCD and EIS analyses further supported the improved charge-storage behavior and lower interfacial impedance of the −2 V electrode. These findings demonstrate that combining graphite-assisted sintering with Ni electrodeposition is an effective post-processing and surface modification strategy for improving the electrochemical performance of FDM-printed stainless-steel electrodes for supercapacitor applications.
