Embodiments of the present technology include graphene-metal composites. An example graphene-metal composite includes a porous metal foam substrate, a graphene layer deposited to the porous metal foam substrate, a metal layer applied to the graphene layer, and another graphene layer deposited to the metal layer; the multilayered porous metal foam substrate being compressed to form a graphene-metal composite, and depositing a thin metal coating on an outer surface of the porous metal foam substrate or an outer surface of the graphene using any of physical vapor deposition and chemical vapor deposition. 1. A graphene-metal composite comprising:a porous metal foam substrate, and a graphene layer deposited to the porous metal foam substrate, the porous metal foam substrate and graphene being compressed to form a graphene-metal composite.2. The graphene-metal composite according to claim 1 , wherein the porous metal foam substrate is nickel or copper foam.3. The graphene-metal composite according to claim 1 , wherein the porosity of the porous metal foam substrate is at least 70%.4. The graphene-metal composite according to claim 1 , wherein the graphene layer is deposited to the porous metal foam substrate by chemical vapor deposition.5. The graphene-metal composite according to claim 1 , wherein the porous metal foam substrate with graphene applied is compressed to substantially close the voids in the porous metal foam substrate and make the compressed porous metal foam substrate with graphene applied thinner than the thickness of the non-compressed porous metal foam substrate. This application is a divisional and claims the priority of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 15/017,578, filed on 21 May 2016, entitled “HIGH CONDUCTIVITY GRAPHANE-METAL COMPOSITE AND METHODS OF MANUFACTURE,” which is a continuation-in-part, and claims the priority benefit, of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 14/947,951 filed on Nov. 20, 2015, entitled “High Conductivity Graphene-Metal Composite ...
