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 in a large area range of metal, nonmetal planes and the surface of a needle point substrate.
Background
Graphene is a two-dimensional net-shaped material formed by stacking single-layer carbon atoms in a honeycomb-like configuration plane, has excellent physical properties such as optics, electricity, heat, mechanics and the like, and unique chemical properties, and can be applied to the fields such as multifunctional composite materials, organic optoelectronic materials, hydrogen storage materials, supercapacitors, microelectronic devices and the like. Graphene has attracted considerable attention from researchers in recent years. The controllable preparation of high-quality large-area graphene is a prerequisite for application, and expanding the preparation method of graphene to meet the application requirements of different fields is a primary problem to be solved in the research of the fields. The main methods for preparing the 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 (Chemical vapor deposition, CVD) method generally uses a specific gaseous carbon source, grows on a metal substrate (Ni or Cu) in a suitable atmosphere, and obtains graphene with high quality by controlling conditions such as temperature gradient, gas flow rate, etc.
At present, the realization of graphene functionalization on the surface of a target material mainly comprises a graphene transfer method and a CVD direct growth method. Since CVD grown graphene typically uses an alloy substrate of single crystal Cu, ni, or both, the synthesized graphene is re-transferred to the target material, defects and contaminants of the graphene are easily caused during transfer, and interface contact between the graphene and the target is not controllable; in addition, the CVD method is limited by a furnace body, so that larger-size graphene cannot be obtained, and meanwhile, the defects of long high-temperature growth time and high energy consumption exist.
Glass substrate growth of graphene is one of the hot spots of research in the field of graphene growth today. 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 electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and wettability of liquid. Therefore, the graphene glass can keep the transparency of the graphene glass and has excellent electric conduction, thermal conduction and high hydrophobicity, and is hopeful to be a new material for replacing common glass. In order to completely replace common glass with graphene glass, the problem of large-scale production of the graphene glass needs to be solved, and the graphene glass is prepared in a laboratory at present mainly by two methods, namely a transfer method, a method of using graphene slurry to coat a liquid phase on the surface of the glass or a method of using a CVD method to prepare the graphene glass on a metal substrate and then transferring the graphene glass to the surface of the glass, and a method of using the CVD method to directly grow graphene on the surface of the glass. As described above, the graphene prepared by the first transfer method has small size, many defects, pollution and other problems in the transfer process, so that the prepared graphene glass has poor performance. The graphene glass prepared by the second CVD method has good performance, but the size of the inner diameter of the tube furnace limits the size of the graphene glass, so that the graphene glass with larger size cannot be prepared.
In addition, the CVD direct growth method is also unsuitable for growing graphene on the surface of materials (e.g., polymer materials, nanotip tips, etc.) that cannot withstand high temperatures for a long period of time. The graphene flexible polymer material has special electrical and mechanical properties and has unique application prospects in the fields of flexible display screens, intelligent sensors and the like. However, since the substrate material cannot withstand high temperatures for a long time, graphene functionalization of the flexible material is currently mainly prepared by a physical coating method. Detection H was made by inkjet printing of a rGO solution of Dua and Ruoff et al chemically reduced graphene oxide flakes (rGO) on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film 2 An atmosphere sensor. However, the rGO solution sprayed graphene has more defects in the sheet, and has larger electric shock resistance between sheets, so that the application of the rGO solution sprayed graphene in a sensor is limited. Bae et al make G/PEF displays by wet transfer of high quality graphene produced on a metal substrate by CVD to PET, but the transfer process typically causes breakage of the graphene and brings about some unavoidable organic impurities. On the other hand, the graphene functionalized nano needle tip has enhanced electrical and mechanical properties, and has outstanding application in the fields of scanning probe imaging, nano electrical measurement, sensors and the like And (3) prospect. Currently, studies on graphene-modified nanotips can be classified into a graphene transfer method and a direct CVD growth method. Duan et al reported that fabricating graphene functionalized Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) tips by growing graphene on copper foil and transferring it to a commercial AFM probe tip, exhibited higher conductivity and lifetime; however, the transfer process of the graphene is uncontrollable, and the acting force between the transferred graphene and the AFM probe body is small and the adhesion is not tight. Martin-Olmos et al formed a pyramid-shaped groove array on the surface of a silicon wafer using a semiconductor processing technique and plated a layer of copper on the surface, and grown a continuous graphene layer on the copper coating (including in the pyramid-shaped grooves) by CVD; and further spin coating a matrix material SU-8 on the graphene layer to obtain the graphene-functionalized AFM probe. However, during CVD growth, the tips of the pyramid shaped grooves are passivated due to the high temperature for a long time, resulting in a final AFM probe tip size of greater than 1um, resulting in reduced spatial resolution of the AFM probe. In summary, the physical adsorption method is not controllable and cannot ensure good contact between the surface of the tip and the graphene layer, whereas the CVD method causes the nano-size damage of the probe tip due to the long-time high-temperature environment required for growth.
In summary, the current methods for implementing graphene functionalization on the surface of the material mainly include a transfer method and a CVD direct growth method. The transfer method is easy to cause 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 prevents the mass production and application expansion of graphene functionalized products. In addition to the above method, xiong et al report a method of generating a graphene pattern on the surface of an insulating base material such as glass or Si sheet using a micro-nano laser direct writing device. In the method, laser spots are focused on the surface of the substrate to heat the irradiation area of the surface of the substrate to reach the growth temperature and conditions 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 limitations of complex equipment, the laser spot size used in the method is very small (about 800 nm), and only graphene growth in a small range (micron level) can be realized, but rapid growth of large-area graphene on the surface of a macroscopic substrate cannot be realized. Aiming at the problems, the invention provides a novel ultra-fast graphene growth method, which adopts pulse current, induced current or convergent microwave energy and the like to act on carbonized substrate materials, generates a large amount of heat in situ through the current on the surface of the substrate, realizes the instant quenching of the materials and further generates a large-scale continuous single-layer or multi-layer graphene on the surface of the materials (as shown in figure 1). The ultra-fast growth method provided by the invention can realize the growth of graphene on a large-size substrate material without being limited by the size of a vacuum tube furnace, and has the characteristics of wide application range of materials (types and sizes) and environments (vacuum, inert atmosphere or atmosphere), rapidness, low energy consumption and the like.

Inserting a metal guide wire at the maximum electric field intensity point, and feeding the converged microwave energy into the guide wire. And fixing the substrate with the carbon layer or the metal/carbon composite layer on the surface on the metal guide wire. The waveguide cavity is vacuumized or replaced by an inert atmosphere environment, a program-controlled high-voltage pulse power supply is used for controlling a magnetron to generate wave numbers to accurately control microwave output time, under the condition of the invention, the loss of converged microwave energy accurately occurs at a metal sample or a surface coating thereof, the microwave energy is converted into a large amount of heat energy, the surface of the sample is enabled to generate instant high temperature to reach a red-hot state, and then natural cooling is carried out. The temperature rise time of the single quenching is in the range of 0.001 to 10 seconds. The guide wire is made of metal, such as Ni, W, fe, stainless steel wire and the like, and has a diameter of 0.2-5mm. Wherein different positions of the guide wire may be welded with clips or other holders adapted to the shape of the sample to secure the sample. The microwave output time is related to the size of the guide wire, the material and the size of the substrate, etc.
The ultra-fast graphene growth method provided by the invention has the following beneficial effects.
Under the method and the condition, the eddy current excited by pulse current and electromagnetic induction and the converged microwave energy directly act on the metal substrate or the coating on the surface of the substrate, a great amount of heat is generated in situ to rapidly heat the surface of the substrate to high temperature (500-2000 ℃) at a great heating rate (which can be more than 1000 ℃/s), then the substrate is rapidly and naturally cooled, and the heating time in the whole single quenching process time is 1 us-10 s. In the ultra-fast quenching process, a carbon layer on the surface of a substrate permeates into a metal substrate or a metal coating on the surface of the substrate at a high temperature, the substrate is rapidly cooled, and the permeated carbon is separated out 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 for heating a sample stage (such as a tungsten boat and the like) and then heat energy is conducted to the sample to heat the sample, so that the temperature of the sample is increased and decreased (Piner R, li H, kong X, et al ACS Nano,2013,7 (9): 7495). In the microwave-assisted CVD process, microwaves form a uniform microwave field by continuous reflection in a multi-cavity upstream of a CVD tube furnace to cleave a carbon source precursor, without directly acting on a growth substrate of graphene, which is still heated by An electric furnace and then raised and maintained at a high temperature suitable for growth of graphene by means of thermal conduction (Li x.s., cai w., an j.et al science,2009,324 (5932):1312).
The ultra-fast graphene method provided by the invention directly heats the substrate by utilizing the eddy current excited by pulse current and electromagnetic induction and the microwave alternating electromagnetic field, and completes the graphene growth on the surface of the substrate in an extremely short time. The method ensures that large-area graphene is generated on the surface of the substrate, simultaneously avoids the damage of high temperature to the substrate such as melting, oxidation and the like, expands the types of graphene functionalized substrate materials, ensures that the substrate size is not limited by the size of a tube furnace, and can be used for rapid graphene functionalization of large-size substrate materials; meanwhile, the production speed can be effectively increased, and the energy consumption and the cost are reduced.
