Description

Method for ultra-fast growth of graphene Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of material surface functionalization, and particularly relates to a method for ultra-fast growth of graphene on a metal plane, a nonmetal plane and a needle point substrate surface in a large area range.
Background
Graphene is a two-dimensional mesh material formed by stacking single-layer carbon atoms in a honeycomb-like configuration plane, has excellent physical properties such as optics, electricity, heat and mechanics and unique chemical properties, and can be applied to the fields of multifunctional composite materials, organic optoelectronic materials, hydrogen storage materials, supercapacitors, microelectronic devices and the like. Graphene has attracted considerable attention in recent years by researchers. The controllable preparation of high-quality large-area graphene is a prerequisite condition for the application of the graphene, and the expansion of the preparation method of the graphene to meet the application requirements of different fields is the first problem to be solved in the field research. The main methods for preparing graphene at present comprise a mechanical stripping method, a redox method, an epitaxial growth method, a chemical vapor deposition method and the like. Among them, the Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) method generally uses a special gas carbon source, grows on a metal substrate (Ni or Cu) in a suitable atmosphere environment, and controls the conditions of temperature gradient, gas flow rate, etc. to obtain high-quality graphene.
The current method for realizing graphene functionalization on the surface of a target material mainly comprises a graphene transfer method and a CVD direct growth method. Since CVD growth of graphene generally uses a single-crystal Cu, Ni, or alloy substrate of both, the synthesized graphene is transferred to a target material, defects and contaminants of graphene are easily caused during the transfer process, and interface contact between graphene and the target is not controllable; in addition, the CVD method is limited by a furnace body, cannot obtain graphene with larger size, and has the defects of long high-temperature growth time and high energy consumption.
Glass substrate growth of graphene is one of the hot spots in the field of graphene growth today. The glass is used as a transparent amorphous oxide, has low preparation cost, is widely applied to daily life, has the same transparent characteristic as graphene, and is complementary in the aspects of electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and liquid wettability. Therefore, the graphene glass and the glass are combined together to form the graphene glass, so that the transparency of the graphene glass and the glass can be kept, and the graphene glass has excellent electric conductivity, thermal conductivity and high hydrophobicity and is expected to become a new material for replacing common glass. In order to completely replace common glass with graphene glass, firstly, the problem of large-scale manufacturing of the common glass needs to be solved, and the graphene glass prepared in a laboratory at present is mainly prepared by two methods, wherein the first method is a transfer method, a liquid-phase coating mode is adopted for preparing graphene slurry on the surface of the glass, or the graphene slurry is prepared on a metal substrate by a CVD method and then transferred to the surface of the glass, and the other method is that the graphene is directly grown on the surface of the glass by the CVD method. As mentioned above, the first transfer method has a small graphene size and many defects, and also causes problems such as contamination during the transfer process, so that the prepared graphene glass has poor performance. The graphene glass prepared by the second CVD method is good in performance, but the size of the graphene glass is limited by the size of the inner diameter of the tube furnace, and the graphene glass with larger size cannot be prepared.
In addition, the CVD direct growth method is not suitable for growing graphene on the surface of a material (for example, a polymer material, a nanoprobe tip, or the like) which cannot withstand high temperature for a long time. The graphene flexible high polymer material has special electrical and mechanical properties, and can be used for flexible display screens and intelligent sensorsAnd the like, has unique application prospect. However, since the substrate material cannot withstand high temperatures for a long time, graphene functionalization of flexible materials is currently mainly prepared by physical coating methods. Detection H was made by ink jet printing of a solution of graphene oxide flakes (rGO) chemically reduced on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film by Dua and Ruoff et al2And the like atmosphere sensor. However, graphene sprayed with the rGO solution has more defects in a sheet, and the sheet-to-sheet electric resistance is larger, so that the application of the graphene in a sensor is limited. Bae et al make G/PEF displays by wet transfer of high quality graphene grown on a metal substrate by CVD, but the transfer process usually causes breakage of the graphene and some inevitable organic impurities. On the other hand, the graphene functionalized nanometer needle tip has enhanced electrical and mechanical properties and has prominent application prospect in the fields of scanning probe imaging, nanometer electrical measurement, sensors and the like. At present, researches on graphene modified nanoprobes can be divided into a graphene transfer method and a direct CVD growth method. Duan et al reported that the fabrication of graphene functionalized AFM tips by growing graphene on copper foil and transferring it to commercial Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) tips showed higher conductivity and lifetime; however, the transfer process of the graphene is not controllable, and the transferred graphene is small in acting force with the AFM probe body and not tightly attached. Martin-Olmos et al, using semiconductor processing techniques, form a pyramidal groove array on the surface of a silicon wafer and plate a layer of copper on the surface, and then grow a continuous graphene layer on the copper coating (including in the pyramidal grooves) by CVD; and further spin-coating a substrate material SU-8 on the graphene layer to obtain the graphene functionalized AFM probe. However, during the CVD growth process, the tips of the pyramidal grooves are passivated by the high temperature for a long time, resulting in a final AFM probe tip size of more than 1um and a resulting AFM probe with reduced spatial resolution. In summary, the physical adsorption method is not controllable and cannot ensure good contact between the tip surface and the graphene layer, while the CVD method causes the probe tip nano-size to be damaged due to the long-time high-temperature environment required for growth.
In summary, the methods for realizing graphene functionalization on the surface of a material mainly include a transfer method and a CVD direct growth method. The transfer method easily causes defects and pollutants of the graphene in the transfer process, and the interface contact between the graphene and the target substrate is uncontrollable; the CVD direct growth method has high requirements on the temperature resistance of the substrate, long time, high energy consumption and limited product size, and blocks the mass production and application expansion of graphene functional products. In addition to the above method, Xiong et al report a method for generating a graphene pattern on the surface of an insulating substrate material such as glass or a Si sheet by using micro-nano laser direct writing equipment. In the method, the laser spot is focused on the surface of the substrate to heat the irradiation area of the surface of the substrate to reach the growth temperature and the growth condition of the graphene, so that the rapid growth of the graphene is realized while the long-time high temperature of the surface of the substrate is avoided. However, in addition to the limitation of complicated equipment, the laser spot size used in this method is very small (about 800 nm), and only a small range (micrometer scale) of graphene growth can be realized, but the large-area graphene rapid growth on the surface of the macroscopic substrate cannot be realized. Aiming at the problems, the invention provides a novel ultra-fast graphene growth method, which adopts pulse current, induction current or converged microwave energy and the like to act on a carbonized substrate material, generates a large amount of heat in situ through the current on the surface of the substrate, realizes instant quenching of the material and further generates continuous single-layer or multi-layer graphene (as shown in figure 1) in a large range on the surface of the material. The ultrafast growth method provided by the invention is not limited by the size of the vacuum tube furnace, realizes the growth of graphene on a large-size substrate material, and has the characteristics of wide application range, rapidness, low energy consumption and the like of the material (type and size) and the environment (vacuum, inert atmosphere or atmosphere).

Fixing the substrate with the carbon layer or the metal/carbon composite layer on the surface on the metal lead. The wave guide cavity is vacuumized or replaced by inert atmosphere environment, the wave number generated by the magnetron is controlled by a program-controlled high-voltage pulse power supply to accurately control the microwave output time, under the condition of the invention, the loss of the converged microwave energy accurately occurs at the metal sample or the surface coating thereof, the microwave energy is converted into a large amount of heat energy, the instantaneous high temperature generated on the surface of the sample reaches a red hot state, and then the sample is naturally cooled.

Under the method and the condition, eddy current and converged microwave energy excited by pulse current and electromagnetic induction directly act on the metal substrate or a coating on the surface of the substrate, a large amount of heat is generated in situ to rapidly heat the surface of the substrate to high temperature (500-2000 ℃) at a large heating rate (which can be more than 1000 ℃/s), and then the substrate is rapidly and naturally cooled, wherein the heating time in the whole single quenching process is 1-10 s. In the ultra-fast quenching process, the carbon layer on the surface of the substrate infiltrates into the metal substrate or the metal coating on the surface of the substrate under the high-temperature condition, then the substrate is rapidly cooled, and the infiltrated carbon is precipitated on the surface of the substrate to form graphene. In the reported graphene preparation method, an electric furnace or an induction current is generally used to heat a sample stage (such as a tungsten boat, etc.) and then conduct heat energy to the sample to achieve the purpose of heating the sample, and the temperature rise and drop process of the sample is long (Piner R, Li H, Kong X, et al. ACS Nano,2013,7(9): 7495). In the microwave-assisted CVD method, microwaves form a uniform microwave field by continuous reflection in a multi-cavity upstream of a CVD tube furnace to crack a carbon source precursor, and do not directly interact with a growth substrate of graphene, and the substrate is raised by electric furnace heating and then thermal conduction and maintained at a high temperature condition suitable for graphene growth (Li x.s., Cai w., An j.et al. science,2009,324(5932): 1312).
