Abstract:
Systems and methods for synthesizing continuous single crystal graphene are provided. A catalytic substrate is drawn through a chemical vapor deposition chamber in a first lengthwise direction while flowing a hydrogen gas through the chemical vapor deposition chamber in the same lengthwise direction. A hydrocarbon precursor gas is supplied directly above a surface of the catalytic substrate. A high concentration gradient of the hydrocarbon precursor at the crystal growth front is generated to promote the growth of a continuous single crystal graphene film while suppressing the growth of seed domains ahead of the crystal growth front.
Abstract:
Disclosed here is a method for rapid growth of large single-crystal graphene assisted by adjacent oxide substrate with chemical vapour deposition system under atmospheric pressure, wherein metal foils are naturally placed on oxide substrates with very narrow spaces between them. O released from the oxide substrates at high temperature could diffuse to the metal surface and involve in the catalytic reactions on the surface of metal foils. This would drastically lower the barrier of the feedstock decomposition and increase the carbon species supply by orders of magnitude, which enables the rapid growth. This method solves a lot of problems in the field of large single-crystal graphene growth, such as expensive monocrystalline substrates, complex pre-treatment of metal foils and a rather long growth cycle. Thus our technique realizes the synthesis of large single-crystal in a very short time and with an efficient cost.
Abstract:
Embodiments described herein relate generally to large scale synthesis of thinned graphite and in particular, few layers of graphene sheets and graphene-graphite composites. In some embodiments, a method for producing thinned crystalline graphite from precursor crystalline graphite using wet ball milling processes is disclosed herein. The method includes transferring crystalline graphite into a ball milling vessel that includes a grinding media. A first and a second solvent are transferred into the ball milling vessel and the ball milling vessel is rotated to cause the shearing of layers of the crystalline graphite to produce thinned crystalline graphite.
