摘要:
A unitary graphene layer or graphene single crystal containing closely packed and chemically bonded parallel graphene planes having an inter-graphene plane spacing of 0.335 to 0.40 nm and an oxygen content of 0.01% to 10% by weight, which unitary graphene layer or graphene single crystal is obtained from heat-treating a graphene oxide gel at a temperature higher than 100° C., wherein the average mis-orientation angle between two graphene planes is less than 10 degrees, more typically less than 5 degrees. The molecules in the graphene oxide gel, upon drying and heat-treating, are chemically interconnected and integrated into a unitary graphene entity containing no discrete graphite flake or graphene platelet. This graphene monolith exhibits a combination of exceptional thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity, mechanical strength, surface smoothness, surface hardness, and scratch resistance unmatched by any thin-film material of comparable thickness range.

The present invention relates to a method of preparing an at least partially transparent and conductive layer (22) comprising graphene, the method comprising the steps of: (a) applying a dispersion comprising graphene oxide onto a substrate to form a layer comprising graphene oxide on the substrate, and (b) heating at least part of the layer obtained in step (a) by laser irradiation (34) at a laser output power of at least 0.036 W, thereby chemically reducing at least a part of the graphene oxide to graphene (33) and physically reducing the thickness of the layer by ablation. An advantage of the present invention is that it provides a simplified method of preparing a layer comprising graphene. The layer thus prepared has desirable transparency and conductivity.
