Background technology
Mono-layer graphite, be called again Graphene (graphene), a kind of by the crystalline network of monolayer carbon atom with the tightly packed one-tenth bi-dimensional cellular of graphite key (sp2) shape, the thickness that therefore a carbon atom is only arranged, the graphite key is the compound keys of covalent linkage and metallic bond, can say the heaven-made match of isolator and electrical conductor.The Andre Geim of Univ Manchester UK in 2004 and Konstantin Novoselov successfully utilize the mode of tape stripping graphite, and confirmation can obtain the Graphene of individual layer, and obtains Nobel prize for physics in 2010.
Graphene be at present the thinnest in the world also be the hardest material, thermal conductivity is higher than CNT (carbon nano-tube) and diamond, also ratio nano carbon pipe or silicon wafer height of its electronic mobility under the normal temperature, resistivity is lower than copper or silver, is the present material of resistivity minimum in the world.Graphene and CNT (carbon nano-tube) all have the advantage that pliability is high, reflectivity is low in the application of transparency electrode, it is present first-selection as the soft electronic material, yet the coating of graphene dispersing solution is many than CNT (carbon nano-tube) dispersion liquid difficulty, Graphene is very easy to assemble stack in essence, wish to get the graphene film of high uniformity and individual layer, avoiding graphene platelet to stack unevenly each other, is main technical difficulties but still make the thin slice conducting that contacts with each other.
