However, it should be noted that the embodiments and examples are for the purposes of illustration and are not intended to limit.
- A roll-to-roll coating apparatus 700 in accordance with the present disclosure includes a
first roller 250 for supplying ametallic member 150 in a roll-to-roll manner; apre-treating unit 400 for processing a surface of the supplied metallic member supplied by thefirst roller 250; agraphene forming unit 500 for forming and coating graphene on a surface of the pre-treated metallic member; and asecond roller 300 for collecting the metallic member coated with the graphene in a roll-to-roll manner after the metallic member passes through the graphene forming unit (seeFIGS. 1 to 5 ). In one illustrative embodiment, the graphene roll-to-roll coating apparatus may further include acooling unit 600 for cooling the metallic member coated with the graphene in the graphene forming unit. From thefirst roller 250, themetallic member 150 is made to pass through the pre-treating unit, the graphene forming unit and the cooling unit (if necessary) in sequence by being driven by thefirst roller 250 and thesecond roller 300. Then, themetallic member 150 coated with the graphene is collected by thesecond roller 300. - The roll-to-roll coating apparatus in accordance with the illustrative embodiment of the present disclosure may be arranged vertically or horizontally (see
FIGS. 1 to 5 ). To prevent or minimize bending of a metallic member and/or deformation of the metallic member at a high temperature and to maintain a stable heat gradient effectively, the apparatus may be arranged vertically (as illustrated inFIGS. 2 , 3 and 4). In case that graphene is coated on a metallic member by depositing a metallic catalyzer for graphene growth on the metallic member, large-area crystallization of a catalyst layer may be enabled in the vertically arranged roll-to-roll coating apparatus, so that the graphene may be more easily coated on the metallic member. Further, in case that the apparatus is horizontally arranged (as illustrated inFIGS. 1 and 5 ), the apparatus can be operated by allowing the metallic member to be stably transferred through the use of a specially designed jig. - In the
pre-treating unit 400, a process selected from a group consisting of a plasma process, a laser process, pre-heating and a combination thereof may be performed on a surface of the metallic member supplied by the first roller. By way of example, a plasma process, a laser process or_a preheating process may be performed in sequence. - The plasma process and the laser process may be used to remove impurities on a metallic member or a metallic catalyzer on which graphene is to be formed and to make morphology of the metallic member dense for increasing the morphology of the metallic member. Further, to prevent transfer of the impurities removed by the plasma process and/or the laser process,
partition walls 430 may be installed in the pre-treating unit between the plasma process and the laser process. Further, partition walls may be additionally formed at an inlet and/or an outlet of the pre-treating unit to block an inflow of external air and an outflow to external air. - The pre-heating process may include a process of heating the metallic member to a temperature at which chemical vapor deposition would progress easily before the formation and/or coating of graphene is performed in the graphene forming unit. Desirably, the pre-heating process may be performed when a high-temperature chemical vapor deposition method is performed in the graphene forming unit, but not limited thereto. Through the pre-heating process, the pre-treating unit can be heated to a temperature equal to or lower than a temperature of the graphene forming unit, e.g., to about 300° C. to about 2000° C., to about 300° C. to about 1000° C., or to about 300° C. to about 500° C.
- Referring to
FIGS. 1 and 2 , in the roll-to-roll coating apparatus in accordance with the illustrative embodiment of the present disclosure, each of thepre-treating unit 400 and thegraphene forming unit 500 may have a chamber shape. Desirably, such a chamber-type roll-to-roll coating apparatus may be used to coat graphene on a surface of a metallic plate, a metal sheet, a metal foil or the like, but not limited thereto. - Furthermore, in the graphene roll-to-roll coating apparatus, the chambers of the
pre-treating unit 400 and thegraphene forming unit 500 may be configured to communicate with each other to perform a series of processes stably. Alternatively, the separated pre-treating unit and the graphene forming unit may be additionally connected so as to maintain a low-pressure or a vacuum atmosphere during the coating process. - In the
graphene forming unit 500, graphene is formed and coated on a surface of the pre-treated metallic member. The formation of the graphene may be performed by a chemical vapor deposition method typically employed in the art. By way of example, thermal chemical vapor deposition (T-CVD), rapid thermal chemical vapor deposition (RTCVD), plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), inductively coupled enhanced chemical vapor deposition (ICPCVD), metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), (low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD), atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition (APCVD) or laser heating may be employed, but not limited thereto. - In a illustrative embodiment, the graphene may be formed and coated on the surface of the
metallic member 150 in the graphene forming unit by chemical vapor deposition by supplying a reactant gas containing a carbon source through agas nozzle 510 within the graphene forming unit. The reactant containing a carbon source may be composed of only a carbon source or may be composed of a carbon source and a nonreactive gas such as helium or argon. Further, the reactant gas containing the carbon source may include hydrogen in addition to the carbon source. Hydrogen may be used to maintain the surface of the metallic member_clean, to thereby control a gas phase reaction. The amount of the hydrogen may range from about 1 to 40 volume % of the entire volume of a vessel, desirably, about 10 to 30 volume % and, more desirably, about 15 to 25 volume %. - The carbon source may include, but not limited to, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, methane, ethane, ethylene, ethanol, acetylene, propane, butane, butadiene, pentane, pentene, cyclopentadiene, hexane, cyclohexane, benzene, toluene or polymer.
- If heat treatment is performed at a temperature of, e.g., about 300° C. to about 2000° C. by a temperature
controllable heating source 520 while the reactant gas containing the carbon source is supplied into the graphene forming unit, carbon components existing in the carbon source may be bonded to each other and form a hexagonal plate-shaped structure on the surface of themetallic member 150, so that graphene is formed. The graphene may be single-layered or multi-layered. - The
gas nozzle 510 may be one or plural. When necessary, a plurality of gas nozzles may be installed within the graphene forming unit so as to control degree of graphene formation. Further, in case that the gas nozzles are provided at one side within the chamber, e.g., either at a top surface or at a bottom surface of the inside of the chamber, the graphene may be formed only on one surface of the metallic member on the side where the gas nozzle is provided. However, by providing the gas nozzles at both top and bottom surfaces of the inside of the chamber, the graphene can be formed and coated on both surfaces of the metallic member. -
Rollers 220 may be provided at inlets and/or outlets of the chamber-type pre-treating unit 400 and the chamber-typegraphene forming unit 500. The rollers may have a function of minimizing or preventing bending of the metallic member and/or deformation of the metallic member at a high temperature and also a function of maintaining a heat gradient stably. Besides, the rollers may be cooling rollers for cooling the metallic member. In such a case, by providing the cooling rollers at the outlet of each chamber, the metallic member can be cooled to a desired temperature without having to install an additional cooling unit. - Referring to
FIGS. 3 to 5 , a roll-to-roll coating apparatus in accordance with another illustrative embodiment of the present disclosure may be configured to be of a single tube type to perform a series of processes stably. Desirably, such a tube-type roll-to-roll coating apparatus may be used for graphene coating of a metallic pipe or a metal wire, but not limited thereto. - The roll-to-roll coating apparatus may include a
pre-treating unit 400, agraphene forming unit 500 and acooling unit 600 as tube-type chambers communicating with each other in sequence. Each of the pre-treating unit, the graphene forming unit and the cooling unit may have aheating jacket 100 or acooling jacket 200 on an exterior surface, so that their temperatures can be controlled. The roll-to-roll coating apparatus may be vertically or horizontally arranged as in the case of the above-described chamber-type roll-to-roll coating apparatus. Further, the roll-to-roll coating apparatus may further include a roller having a gas inlet for forming and coating graphene on an inner surface of the metallic pipe and capable of supplying a gas stably regardless of driving directions of rollers around which a metallic pipe is wound. - In a illustrative embodiment, the tube-type roll-to-roll coating apparatus may further include a

FIG. 7 shows analysis results of contact angle of the fluid for evaluating fluid resistance of the fluid flowing within copper heat pipes in accordance with an example of the present disclosure and comparative examples.FIG. 7 shows images of surfaces of the respective copper heat pipe samples. - For the analysis of contact angles, three types of samples were prepared. In
FIG. 7 , (a) is a copper heat pipe coated with graphene by the graphene roll-to-roll coating apparatus 700; (b), a copper heat pipe undergone through high-temperature hydrogen annealing (reducing process); and (C), a bare copper pipe on which a great amount of surface oxide layer is formed). Water was used as a liquid. The copper heat pipe coated with graphene is prepared by using the graphene roll-to-roll coating apparatus 700. To elaborate, the copper heat pipe coated with graphene was prepared through the steps of supplying a copper heat pipe from thefirst roller 250 into the pre-treating unit (about 800° C.) in a roll-to-roll manner; pre-heating the supplied copper heat pipe in the pre-treating unit (about 800° C.) while flowing H2 of about 10 sccm under an atmospheric pressure or at about 180 mTorr; transferring the pre-heated copper heat pipe into the graphene forming unit pre-heated to about 1000° C.) and forming and coating graphene on a surface of the copper heat pipe; transferring the copper heat pipe coated with the graphene into the cooling unit and cooling it therein; and collecting the copper heat pipe coated with the graphene by the second roller through a roll-to-roll mechanism after the copper pipe passes through the cooling unit. In the process of forming and coating the graphene, a reactant gas containing a carbon source (CH4:H2=30:10 sccm) for graphene formation was supplied through thesecond gas inlet 20 for about 30 minutes at about 1.6 Torr, so that the graphene was formed and coated on the surface of the copper heat pipe at the same time. Thereafter, the copper heat pipe coated with the graphene was cooled by supplying an Ar gas as a purge gas was supplied through thethird gas inlet 30 provided between the graphene forming unit and the cooling unit. When necessary, the reactant gas containing the carbon source for graphene formation may be additionally supplied into the inside of the cooper heat pipe through thefourth gas inlet 50 provided in thefirst roller 250, so that the graphene may be formed and coated on an external surface and an internal surface of the copper heat pipe while the copper heat pipe passes through the graphene forming unit. - Here, in the cases of (a) and (c), contact angles were found to be higher than a contact angle on the surface of the bare copper pipe (b) by about 5 degree or more, which implies that there may be a difference in liquid resistances when the same liquid flows through the respective copper heat pipes. Further, by performing heat-treatment on the surface of the copper heat pipe after the graphene is coated on the surface of the copper heat pipe, surface roughness of the copper pipe can be improved, and, thus, the liquid resistance within the heat pipe coated with the graphene may be further ameliorated.

FIG. 8 shows an evaluation result of anti-chemical/anti-corrosion property of a surface of a copper heat pipe coated with a graphene film under a liquid atmosphere and an atmospheric atmosphere in accordance with an example of the present disclosure and evaluation results of anti-chemical/anticorrosion properties of surfaces of copper heat pipes in accordance comparative examples. The same samples as used inFIG. 7 were used, and surface states of the respective samples were compared through optical microscope analysis. As for experiment conditions, the samples were submerged in water for one day, and after the samples were dried under an atmospheric atmosphere (atmospheric pressure) for about 10 hours, the surfaces of the samples were observed. In case of the sample (a), a surface change was hardly observed before and after an oxidation test. In case of the sample (b), degree of oxidation was highest among the three samples, and, especially, a great amount of oxidized metal material in the form of snowflakes was found to float on the surface of the copper heat pipe. Meanwhile, in case of the sample (c), an oxide layer is naturally formed on the surface of the copper heat pipe over a long period of time, no rapid oxidation reaction as in the case of the sample (b) was observed. This result shows that storage state and operation environment (temperature, humidity, etc) as well as the fabrication process of themetallic member 150 may be a critical factor that affects performance and lifetime of themetallic member 150. - Accordingly, in accordance with the present disclosure, the
metallic member 150 coated with graphene may be provided by using the graphene coating method and the graphene coating apparatus before an oxide film is formed on the surface of the metallic member. Since the graphene protects the metal surface, anti-chemical/anti-corrosion property of themetallic member 150 coated with the graphene can be improved, and surface resistance between the liquid and the inside of the heat pipe can be minimized. -
FIGS. 9A to 9E show evaluation results of heat conductivity of a high-temperature liquid (including a gas) for heat pipes in accordance with an example of the present disclosure and comparative examples, and also illustrate an experiment apparatus used in the experiment. - The same samples as used in
FIG. 7 were used inFIGS. 9A to 9E .FIG. 9A .FIG. 9A indicates a case of (a) a copper heat pipe coated with graphene and a case of (c) a bare copper heat pipe (on which a great amount of surface oxide layer is formed), andFIG. 9B shows a case of (b) a copper heat pipe undergone through high-temperature hydrogen annealing (reducing process). - Referring to
FIG. 9A , although an initial supply temperature of water was fixed at about 100° C. the temperature of the wafer decreased by about 41° C., until the water reached the copper heat pipes. However, since the temperatures of inlets of the heat pipes were maintained at about 59° C. in both cases (a) and (c), influence on evaluation results of heat conductivity properties of the heat pipes is regarded to be insignificant. - For a heat conductivity test through a thermal image camera, water was supplied to the copper heat pipes for about 60 seconds. To compare temperature distributions, a temperature difference in each case was analyzed by using a Testo IRsoft program upon the lapse of about 20 seconds and about 60 seconds after the liquid was supplied. Through this experiment, a constant temperature difference of about 5° C. was found to be generated between the two heat pipes through the entire time range. Thus, the result of this experiment shows that heat transfer efficiency can be greatly improved in case of using the heat pipe coated with graphene, as compared to the heat pipe without being coated with graphene. Further, a temperature difference between the two heat pipes may be expected to be even greater in case of heat transfer of a liquid within a high temperature range (within about 300° C.).
- Referring to
FIG. 9B , although an initial supply temperature of water was fixed at about 100° C., the temperature of the wafer decreased by about 41° C. until the water reached the copper heat pipe, the same as described inFIG. 9 a. However, the temperatures of inlets of the heat pipes were maintained at about 59° C. in all cases (a), (b) and (c). Then, to observe an instant temperature variation for each heat pipe, water was supplied to each pipe for about 60 seconds and the supply of the water was then stopped. To compare temperature distributions, temperature differences in the respective cases were analyzed by using a Testo IRsoft program upon the lapse of about 30 seconds and about 60 seconds after the liquid was supplied and, also, upon the lapse of about 60 seconds after the water supply was stopped. The analysis result using a thermal image camera indicates that only the heat pipe coated with graphene shows a great difference in heat transfer property through the entire time range. - The heat pipe coated with graphene in accordance with the present disclosure is expected to exhibit heat transfer efficiency about 8% higher than that of a conventional heat pipe.
- Based on the analysis discussed above,
FIGS. 9C and 9D illustrate experiment equipment used to measure a temperature variation for a certain part inside and outside of the heat pipes while flowing a high-temperature gas into the heat pipes. To conduct more detailed analysis than that discussed above, thermocouples were installed at inlets, outlets and two central portions of each heat pipe, and the system was set up to obtain data on a real time basis. Further, by using a thermal image camera, temperature distributions were observed at the same time. - As a result of obtaining real-time temperature data using the thermocouples, a graph (B) of
FIG. 9E indicates that the heat transfer efficiency of the heat pipe coated with graphene was improved by a maximum of about 8.6% as compared to the heat pipes without being coated with graphene. Besides, as a result of analyzing collected heat temperature distributions, a graph (D) ofFIG. 9E indicates that collected heat efficiency was improved by about 7.6% in case of the heat pipe coated with graphene, as compared to the heat pipes without coated with graphene. - Thus, the heat pipe coated with graphene can be widely used in rapid heating and rapid cooling systems because it enables rapid thermal diffusion.
