A method of coating a substrate, the method comprises adding a nanocarbon material to an electrophoretic solution in an electrophoretic deposition apparatus including the substrate and an electrode spaced from the substrate, and applying a current to the substrate and the electrode to deposit the nanocarbon material onto the substrate.

A method for coating a substrate includes the steps of: forming a conductive coating layer on a surface of a substrate so as to form a semi-product; submerging a conductive sheet and the semi-product into an electrophoresis medium that includes charged colloid particles; and applying a voltage on the conductive sheet or the semi-product to form an electric field among the conductive sheet, the semi-product, and the electrophoresis medium, so that the colloid particles move along the electric field toward the semi-product and an electrophoretic covering layer formed by the charged colloid particles is thus deposited on the electrophoretic covering layer.

The invention relates to a method for coating an organic or metallic material by covalent grafting of at least one organic compound A having at least one aromatic group substituted with a diazonium function, on a surface of said material, characterized in that the material is porous or fibrillar having a geometric surface area of at least 10 cm.sup.2 of material, and in that said method includes a step of continuous imposition of a non-zero pulsed current in an intensiostatic mode on the surface of the material in order to electrochemically reduce the diazonium ion or ions. The invention further relates to the resulting composite materials and to the use of such materials for manufacturing electrodes.
