Problems solved by technology

However, films smaller than 100nm cannot be completely peeled off from the growth device, so carbon nanotube films below 100nm are usually difficult to obtain, which undoubtedly limits the further application of directly prepared carbon nanotube films

Embodiment 1

[0031] This embodiment provides a method for thinning carbon nanotube films, including:

[0032] 1) if Figure 1a As shown, a 100nm-thick carbon nanotube film grown by floating catalytic chemical vapor deposition (hereinafter referred to as the "carbon nanotube primary film") was spread on a flat substrate (polished silicon wafer) with a smooth surface , due to the excellent self-adsorption properties of the carbon nanotube film, the carbon nanotube film cannot be laid on the substrate very flatly, and wrinkles will be formed on the substrate (such as figure 2 As shown in a), in order to eliminate wrinkles, put the flat substrate and the carbon nanotube primary film on the surface together in the evaporating dish, and then inject ethanol into the evaporating dish, so that the ethanol liquid level is basically equal to the surface of the carbon nanotube primary film or Less than 0.5mm above the surface of the primary membrane (such as figure 2 As shown in b), the capillary ...

Embodiment 2

[0046] This embodiment provides another method for thinning carbon nanotube films, including:

[0047] 1) Spread the 100nm-thick carbon nanotube primary film grown by floating catalytic chemical vapor deposition on a flat substrate (polished silicon wafer) with a smooth surface;

[0048] 2) Use scotch tape as the first transfer substrate, cover the adhesive layer of the scotch tape on the carbon nanotube primary film, and then separate the scotch tape from the flat substrate, because the surface energy of the scotch tape is much larger than that of silicon sheet, so the carbon nanotube primary film can be easily transferred from the silicon sheet to the scotch tape (first transfer substrate);

[0049] 3) Take another piece of scotch tape that is the same as the first transfer substrate as the second transfer substrate, and cover the second transfer substrate on the side of the first transfer substrate on which the carbon nanotube primary film is printed;

[0050] 4) Separate ...

Abstract

The invention provides a method for thinning a carbon nanotube film. The method comprises the following steps: 1) placing primary carbon nanotube films on a first transfer base with high surface energy; 2) covering a second transfer base with high surface energy on a face of the first transfer base covered with the primary carbon nanotube films; and 3) separating the first transfer base from the second transfer base so as to separate the primary carbon nanotube films and respectively transfer the primary carbon nanotube films with different thicknesses on the first transfer base and the second transfer base, thus obtaining two first-grade carbon nanotube films. According to the method provided by the invention, the steps 2) and 3) can be repeatedly carried out to obtain secondary carbon nanotube films, thus, the carbon nanotube film can be continuously thinned.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for thinning a carbon nanotube film, in particular to a method for using a transfer printing method to thin a carbon nanotube film. Background technique [0002] Transparent and conductive indium tin oxide (ITO) films have been widely used in flat panel displays, solar cells, light-emitting diodes, special function window coatings and other optoelectronic fields. Especially in recent years, the market volume of flat panel displays has increased, and the demand for ITO transparent conductive films has expanded accordingly. However, due to the increasingly serious problem of resource depletion of the rare metal indium, the price continues to rise, and the ITO film is brittle, so the limitations of ITO film in terms of price and flexibility have become one of the obstacles to the development of flexible electronic devices. In order to fundamentally solve this problem, it is urgent to develop materials to replace ITO tran...
