The presented work demonstrates the capability of obtaining composite powder, silver-fullerene soot, by the electrolytic deposition of silver from an aqueous solution of silver nitrate. The morphology of particles was studied as a function of fullerene soot concentration and current density. The microstructure of compact materials obtained by hot pressing was investigated. The hardness of the compact material increased up to 30% and the same corrosion properties relative to pure silver were obtained using a similar technology.
