Description

Preparation method of patterned graphene flexible strain sensor
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of sensors, in particular to a preparation method of a patterned graphene flexible strain sensor.
Background
The graphene patterning film has important application value for fine processing and performance regulation of micro-nano devices, and has attracted extensive research interest. In a conventional graphene patterning method, graphene oxide is spin-coated on the surface of a substrate, and then a pattern is formed by performing processes such as photolithography, and then the patterned graphene oxide is subjected to reduction. The method needs a photoetching step, is complicated in process and high in cost, can damage the surface of the substrate to a certain extent, and has strict requirements on the material and the surface appearance of the substrate. And when the graphene oxide reagent is dripped on the rotating substrate, the interaction force between the graphene oxide and the substrate can influence the film forming, and the spin coating process can only form a film on a plane substrate with a simple shape, has a small film forming range and is not suitable for mass production.
Some other research hotspots in the art for graphene patterning currently include inkjet printing and screen printing. The ink-jet printing process has a serious coffee ring effect (which means that after a solution or suspension liquid drop is volatilized and dried on a solid surface, a ring-shaped stain is sometimes formed at the edge of the liquid drop), so that the uniformity of graphene oxide of a film is reduced when a graphene solution is formed into a film, and the pattern resolution is reduced due to the existence of the coffee ring, thereby preventing the realization of micro-nano-scale patterning processing of the graphene film. The graphene ink used in the screen printing process is generally slurry with high viscosity, and the introduction of the adhesive limits the conductivity of the graphene.
Therefore, the method for preparing the patterned graphene sensor in the prior art is complex in process, difficult to control, incapable of adapting to a complex curved surface and processing a fine pattern, and hinders the development of the flexible strain sensor.
