The invention belongs to the technical field of inorganic compounds, and particularly, relates to a method for directly preparing graphene by taking CBr4 as a source material and using methods such as molecular-beam epitaxy (MBE) or chemical vapor deposition (CVD). A method for preparing graphene comprises the following steps: selecting a proper material as a substrate; directly depositing a catalyst and CBr4 on a surface of the substrate; and performing annealing treatment on the sample obtained through deposition. Compared with other technologies, an innovative point of the method in the invention is that the catalyst and CBr4 source can be quantitatively and controllably deposited on any substrate, and the catalyst and CBr4 source react on the surface of the substrate to form the graphene, so that the dependence of the graphene growth on a substrate material can be reduced to a great extent, and different substrate materials can be selected according to different application backgrounds.

The plurality of sheets includes a plurality of protruded openings at the outer surface. The plurality of sheets are attached together and then rolled up to form a container like structure for growing plants. The plant seeds are inserted into the plurality of protruded openings. Then water is sprayed inside the container like structure directed away from the center and nutrients are sprayed directly to the roots of the plants. The device provides growth of plants in shorter time and maximum growing area in limited footage.
Abstract:
A composition for removing a photoresist layer and a method for using it are disclosed. The composition comprises a chemical portion which includes water and chemical constituents dissolving or softening the photoresist layer and a mechanical portion which is abrasive particles. Using the composition and the method according to the present invention can decrease the conventional two steps of removing a photoresist layer process to one step, thereby simplifying the procedure, shortening the removing time and reducing the cost. The chemical constituents in the composition according to the present invention are of low toxicity and flammability and the amount used is small, which makes it more friendly with the environment and decreases the expense of disposing the waste.
