ABSTRACT: It has theoretical significance and practical value to synthetize and modify amorphous carbon films by liquid electro-deposition technique due to its low cost, simple equipment, and better operability in uniform deposition of the films with large-area and complex shape work pieces. This article introduces the research situation of the carbon films prepared by liquid phase electrochemical deposition according to the applied voltage, discusses the influence of experimental parameters on the film properties, and describes possible reaction mechanisms. It summarizes the research progress of amorphous carbon films doped with metal and nonmetals. Finally, existing problems have been demonstrated and suggestions on research hotspots in the future are given.
