The extended growth of graphene oxide flakes using ethanol CVD.

چکیده
We report the extended growth of Graphene Oxide (GO) flakes using atmospheric pressure ethanol Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD). GO was used to catalyze the deposition of carbon on a substrate in the ethanol CVD with Ar and H2 as carrier gases. Raman, SEM, XPS and AFM characterized the growth to be a reduced GO (RGO) of <5 layers. This newly grown RGO possesses lower defect density with larger and increased distribution of sp(2) domains than chemically reduced RGO. Furthermore this method without optimization reduces the relative standard deviation of electrical conductivity between chips, from 80.5% to 16.5%, enabling RGO to be used in practical electronic devices.

Investigation of non-segregation graphene growth on Ni via isotope-labeled alcohol catalytic chemical vapor deposition.
Here we present CVD growth of graphene on Ni and investigate the growth mechanism using isotopically labeled (13)C-ethanol as the precursor. Results show that during low-pressure alcohol catalytic CVD (LP-ACCVD), a growth time of less than 30 s yields graphene films with high surface coverage (>80%). Moreover, when isotopically labeled ethanol precursors were sequentially introduced, Raman mapp...
متن کاملEquilibrium chemical vapor deposition growth of Bernal-stacked bilayer graphene.
Using ethanol as the carbon source, self-limiting growth of AB-stacked bilayer graphene (BLG) has been achieved on Cu via an equilibrium chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process. We found that during this alcohol catalytic CVD (ACCVD) a source-gas pressure range exists to break the self-limitation of monolayer graphene on Cu, and at a certain equilibrium state it prefers to form uniform BLG with...
متن کاملGraphene growth from reduced graphene oxide by chemical vapour deposition: seeded growth accompanied by restoration
Understanding the underlying mechanisms involved in graphene growth via chemical vapour deposition (CVD) is critical for precise control of the characteristics of graphene. Despite much effort, the actual processes behind graphene synthesis still remain to be elucidated in a large number of aspects. Herein, we report the evolution of graphene properties during in-plane growth of graphene from r...

Graphene is a 2D material with atomic thickness and possesses unusual thermal, electrical, optical, and mechanical properties. However, those predicted, or measured, material properties could be achieved only when graphene has low defects with controlled surrounding environments. In this presentation, I will introduce two major strategies of graphene synthesis from my group; nonoxidized graphen...
متن کاملThe Influence of Graphene Oxide on Mechanical Properties and Durability Increase of Concrete Pavement
Herein, the performance of graphene oxide (GO) in improving mechanical properties and subsequently reducing the permeability of cement composites used in concrete pavement, is studied. A polycarboxylate superplasticizer was used to improve the dispersion of GO flakes in the cement. The mechanical strength of graphene-cement nanocomposites containing 0.1–2 wt% GO and 0.5 wt% superplasticizer was...
