So, in order to reduce the electron cloud effect, exploring very low secondary electron yield （SEY） material or coating used in vacuum tubes becomes necessary. In this article, we studied the SEY characteristics of graphene films with different thicknesses which were deposited on copper substrates using chemical vapor deposition. The SEY tests were done at temperatures of 25 ℃and vacuum pressure of （2-6）x 10-9 torr. The properties of the deposited graphene films were investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS） and Raman spectroscopy. The SEY curves show that the number of graphene layers has a great effect on the SEY of graphene films. The maximum SEY of graphene films decreases with the increase of the number of layers.

The sound pressure of the graphene film generator on different substrates is measured, and the measurement data is compared with the theoretical results. The frequency response from the experimental results is consistent with the theoretical ones, while the measured values are slightly lower than the theoretical ones. Therefore, the accuracy of the proposed theoretical model is verified. It is shown that thermal-acoustic radiation from a graphene thin film reveals a wide frequency response. The sound pressure level increases with the frequency in the low frequency range, while the sound pressure varies smoothly with frequency in the high frequency range. Thus it can be used as excellent thermal generator. When the thermal effusivity of the substrate is smaller, then the sound pressure of grapheme films will be higher. Furthermore, the sound pressure decreases with the increase of heat capacity per unit area of grapheme films. Results will contribute to the mechanism of graphene films generator and its applications in the design of loudspeaker and other related areas.展开更多

The third-order optical nonlinearities are characterized by the canonical Z-scan technique under femtosecond laser(wavelength: 800 nm, pulse width: 100 fs) excitation. Through controlling the applied femtosecond laser energy, NSA of the GO films can be tuned continuously. The GO film is placed at the focal plane as a unique amplitude filter to improve the resolution of the focused field. A multi-layer system model is proposed to present the generation of a deep sub-wavelength spot associated with the nonlinearity of GO films. Moreover, the parameter conditions to achieve the best resolution(~λ/6) are determined entirely. The demonstrated results here are useful for high density optical recoding and storage, nanolithography, and super-resolution optical imaging.展开更多

The films were grown using the plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition method, which allowed the production of both vertically and horizontally aligned carbon nanowalls(CNWs). Modifications of the techniqueallowed control of the density of the CNWs and their orientation after the transfer process. The influence of two different topographies on cell attachment, proliferation,and differentiation was investigated. First, the transferred graphene surfaces were shown to be noncytotoxic and were able to support cell adhesion and growth for over 7 days.Second, early cell differentiation(identified by cellular alkaline phosphatase release) was found to be enhanced on the horizontally aligned CNW surfaces, whereas mineralization(identified by cellular calcium production), a later stage of bone cell differentiation, was stimulated by the presence of the vertical CNWs on the surfaces. These results show that the graphene coatings, grown using the presented method, are biocompatible. And their topographies have an impact on cell behavior, which can be useful in tissue engineering applications.展开更多

The synthesized process is simple, low-cost and possible for application on transparent electrodes, gas sensors and thin film resistors. Analytical methods such as Raman spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and four points prove resistivity measurement and UV-VIS-NIR spectroscopy were employed to characterize properties of the graphene films. The formation of multilayer of graphene on silicon substrate was confirmed by Raman spectroscopy and TEM. It is possible to grow graphene directly on silicon substrate (without using catalyst) due to high radical density of MW SWP CVD. In addition, we also observed that the hydrogen had significant role for quality of graphene.展开更多

The effects of inserted Zn layers in ZnO matrix and an interface graphene layer on resistive switching characteristics were studied. It is found that metal ions, oxygen vacancies, and interface are involved in the RS process. A thin inserted Zn layer can increase the resistance of HRS and enhance the resistance ratio. A graphene interface layer between ZnO layer and top electrode can block the carrier transport and enhance the resistance ratio to several times. The results suggest feasible routes to tailor the resistive switching performance of ZnO-based structure.展开更多

文摘A novel photocatalyst of La MnO3/graphene thin films with the perovskite-type was synthesized by sol-gel process assisted with spin-coating methods on glass substrates.The prepared samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy（SEM）, transmission electron microscopy（TEM）, X-ray diffraction（XRD）, Brumauer-Emmett-Teller（BET） surface area analyzer, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy（XPS） and UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy.Results showed that after the introduction of graphene, the perovskite structure was unchanged and the size of La MnO3 particles was about 22 nm, which uniformed growth in graphene sheet.Determination of contact angle indicated that the contact angle of glass substrate decreased and the hydrophilicity improved after treating with H2SO4 and APTES.The UV-Vis photocatalytic activity of the photocatalysts was evaluated by the degradation of diamine green B.La MnO3/graphene thin films had better photocatalytic ability than La MnO3 and Ti O2 films.The obtained k was 0.5627 and 0.3441 h–1 corresponding to La MnO3/graphene films and Ti O2 films, respectively.

文摘Nanostructured graphene films were used as platforms for the differentiation of Saos-2 cells into bonelike cells. The films were grown using the plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition method, which allowed the production of both vertically and horizontally aligned carbon nanowalls(CNWs). Modifications of the techniqueallowed control of the density of the CNWs and their orientation after the transfer process. The influence of two different topographies on cell attachment, proliferation,and differentiation was investigated. First, the transferred graphene surfaces were shown to be noncytotoxic and were able to support cell adhesion and growth for over 7 days.Second, early cell differentiation(identified by cellular alkaline phosphatase release) was found to be enhanced on the horizontally aligned CNW surfaces, whereas mineralization(identified by cellular calcium production), a later stage of bone cell differentiation, was stimulated by the presence of the vertical CNWs on the surfaces. These results show that the graphene coatings, grown using the presented method, are biocompatible. And their topographies have an impact on cell behavior, which can be useful in tissue engineering applications.
文摘Catalyst-free graphene films has been synthesized by microwave (MW) surface wave plasma (SWP) chemical vapor deposition (CVD) using hydrogenated carbon source on silicon substrates at low temperature (500℃). The synthesized process is simple, low-cost and possible for application on transparent electrodes, gas sensors and thin film resistors. Analytical methods such as Raman spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and four points prove resistivity measurement and UV-VIS-NIR spectroscopy were employed to characterize properties of the graphene films. The formation of multilayer of graphene on silicon substrate was confirmed by Raman spectroscopy and TEM. It is possible to grow graphene directly on silicon substrate (without using catalyst) due to high radical density of MW SWP CVD. In addition, we also observed that the hydrogen had significant role for quality of graphene.

文摘Thermal conductivity and thermal dissipation are of great importance for modern electronics due to the increased transistor density and operation frequency of contemporary integrated circuits.Due to its exceptionally high thermal conductivity,graphene has drawn considerable interests worldwide for heat spreading and dissipation.However,maintaining high thermal conductivity in graphene laminates(the basic technological unit)is a significant technological challenge.Aiming at highly thermal conductive graphene films(GFs),this prospective review outlines the most recent progress in the production of GFs originated from graphene oxide due to its great convenience in film processing.Additionally,we also consider such issues as film assembly,defect repair and mechanical compression during the post-treatment.We also discuss the thermal conductivity in in-plane and through-plane direction and mechanical properties of GFs.Further,the current typical applications of GFs are presented in thermal management.Finally,perspectives are given for future work on GFs for thermal management.

文摘The integration of electronic components and the popularity of flexible devices have come up with higher expectations for the heat dissipation capability and comprehensive mechanical performance of thermal management materials.In this work,after the modification of polyimide(PI)fibers through oxidation and amination,the obtained PDA@OPI fibers(polydopamine(PDA)-modified pre-oxidized PI fibers)with abundant amino groups were mixed into graphene oxide(GO)to form uniform GO-PDA@OPI composites.Followed by evaporation,carbonization,graphitization and mechanical compaction,the G-gPDA@OPI films with a stable three-dimensional(3D)long-range interconnected covalent structure were built.In particular,due to the rich covalent bonds between GO layers and PDI@OPI fibers,the enhanced synergistic graphitization promotes an ordered graphitized structure with less interlayer distance between adjacent graphene sheets in composite film.As a result,the optimized G-gPDA@OPI film displays an improved tensile strength of 78.5 MPa,tensile strain of 19.4%and thermal conductivity of 1028 W/(m·K).Simultaneously,it also shows superior flexibility and high resilience.This work provides an easily-controlled and relatively low-cost route for fabricating multifunctional graphene heat dissipation films.

文摘Activated carbon(AC)particles sandwiched reduced graphene oxide sheets(rGO)film has been successfully fabricated via a facile self-assemble approach.The as-formed AC/rGO film is self-standing,flexible and mechanically robust,allowing to be transferred to any substrate on demand without rupture.Since AC particles effectively suppressed the restacking of the rGO sheet,AC/rGO film exhibits loose layer-by-layer stacking structures with various gaps between AC particles and rGO sheets,which is different from compact structures of pure graphene films.The as-formed gaps provide fast diffusion channels for electrolyte ions and enhanced accessible surface area of rGO.Therefore,the AC/rGO electrode delivers improved electrochemical performance over the voltage range of 0.0−3.0 V.This work offers a promising strategy to design free-standing supercapacitor electrodes based on traditional nanocarbon materials.

文摘We fabricate flexible conductive and transparent graphene films on position-emission-tomography substrates and prepare large area graphene films by graphite oxide sheets with the new technical process. The multi-layer graphene oxide sheets can be chemically reduced by HNO3 and HI to form a highly conductive graphene film on a substrate at lower temperature. The reduced graphene oxide sheets show a high conductivity sheet with resistance of 476Ω/sq and transmittance of 76% at 550nm （6 layers）. The technique used to produce the transparent conductive graphene thin film is facile, inexpensive, and can be tunable for a large area production applied for electronics or touch screens.

文摘Graphene-based electrodes with rational structural design have shown extraordinary prospect for en-hanced electrical double-layer capacitance of micro-supercapacitors(MSCs).Herein,a facile fabrication method for flexible planar MSCs based on hierarchical graphene was demonstrated by using a laser-treated membrane for electrode patterning,complemented with hierarchical electrode configuration tak-ing full advantages of size-determined functional graphene.The in-plane interdigital shape of MSCs was defined through vacuum filtration with the assistance of the functionalized polypropylene(PP)mem-brane.The hierarchical graphene films were built by macroscopic assembly based on size effect of differ-ent lateral sized graphene sheets(rGO-LSL).The sample of MSCs based on rGO-L SL(MSCs-LSL)exhibited excellent volumetric capacitance of 6.7 F cm^(−3) and high energy density of 0.37 mWh cm−3.The MSCs-LSL presented superb flexibility and cycling stability with no capacitance deteroriated after 2000 cycles.This newly developed fabrication strategy is of good scalability and designability to manufacture flexible elec-trode for MSCs with customized shapes,while the construction of hierarchical graphene can enlighten the structural design of analogous two-dimensional materials for potential advanced electronics.

文摘ZnO-based resistive switching device Ag/ZnO/TiN, and its modified structure Ag/ZnO/Zn/ZnO/TiN and Ag/graphene/ZnO/TiN, were prepared. The effects of inserted Zn layers in ZnO matrix and an interface graphene layer on resistive switching characteristics were studied. It is found that metal ions, oxygen vacancies, and interface are involved in the RS process. A thin inserted Zn layer can increase the resistance of HRS and enhance the resistance ratio. A graphene interface layer between ZnO layer and top electrode can block the carrier transport and enhance the resistance ratio to several times. The results suggest feasible routes to tailor the resistive switching performance of ZnO-based structure.

文摘In active reconfigurable polarization conversion metasurfaces,the integration of electromagnetic radiation performance and heat dissipation efficiency presents two critical challenges.In this work,we proposed a graphene-based reconfigurable polarization metasurface that integrates heat dissipation and electromagnetic regulation functions.The proposed graphene metasurface modulates the polarization state of the reflected wave at multiple frequency bands via the on-off switching of PIN diodes.When the PIN diode is in the ON state,the metaurface can modulate the incident linear polarization wave into its cross-polarization wave in 5.73-6.15 and 11.25-13.10 GHz,and into a circular polarization wave in 6.27-10.18 GHz.When the PIN diode is switched to the off state,the cross-polarization transitions are achieved in 5.75-7.32 and 12.83-14.24 GHz,with full reflection in the band of 7.92-10.15 GHz,and circular polarization in 12.83-14.24 GHz.In addition,when the graphene metasurface system worked after a long period of operation,the temperature of the graphene metasurface is 21.3℃,which is 34.2℃lower than that of the copper metasurface,this has less impact on the temperature drift effect of the PIN diode.The integrated graphene polarized reconfigurable metasurface for radiation and heat dissipation addresses the performance,volume,and thermal management limitations of traditional systems through multifunctional integration and dynamic tunability,offering significant potential for future smart electromagnetic devices application in communication,radar,and Internet of Things.

文摘The transfer of graphene from metallic substrates onto application-specific substrates is usually inevitable for the applications of high-quality graphene films derived from chemical vapour deposition(CVD)approaches.Commonly used to support the graphene films during the transfer,the coating of the polymer would produce the surface contaminations and hinder the industrially compatible transfer.In this work,through the thermal imidization of polyamide acid(PAA)to polyimide(PI)and tuning of the concentration of dangling chains,we achieved the ultraclean and crack-free transfer of graphene wafers with high electronic quality.The resulting contamination-free and hydrophilic surface also enabled the observed improved cell viability in a biomedical applications.By avoiding aqueous etching or the usage of strong bases,our proposed transfer method is industrially compatible for batch transfer of graphene films towards the real applications.
