Problems solved by technology

[0004] The traditional method of preparing large single-crystal graphene films usually uses copper foil as the catalyst and material growth substrate at high temperature, and uses extremely low carbon source supply and a large amount of reducing gas to reduce the nucleation density of graphene, and then obtain large single-crystal graphene films. Graphene film composed of single crystal graphene, but due to the limitation of carbon source supply in this method, the growth rate of graphene film is extremely slow, and the long-term high-temperature growth brings a lot of energy consumption and gas consumption

Embodiment 1

[0080] Embodiment 1, rapid preparation of large single crystal graphene

[0081] 1) Place copper foil (produced by AlfaAesar, with a purity of 99.8%, and a thickness of 25 μm) in a phosphoric acid glycol solution for electrochemical polishing. The concentration of phosphoric acid is 85%, and the volume ratio of phosphoric acid and glycol is 3:1. Density maintained at 30A / m 2 -100A / m 2 Between, the polishing time is about 30min. The polished copper foils were rinsed with deionized water and dried with nitrogen gas.

[0082] 2) Place the above-mentioned polished copper foil in a casing with magnetic control, and place the casing in a large quartz tube of a tube furnace, heat up to an annealing temperature of 1020° C. in 500 sccm of argon, and the system pressure It is 480Pa.

[0083] 3) After the temperature rises to 1020° C., 100 sccm of hydrogen gas is introduced, the system pressure is 100 Pa, and annealed in this atmosphere for 40 minutes to obtain an annealed copper foi...

Abstract

The invention discloses a graphene single crystal and a rapid growth method thereof. The rapid growth method comprises carrying out primary passivation on annealed copper foil, orderly carrying out primary growth, secondary passivation and secondary growth at a constant temperature, and carrying out cooling to a room temperature so that crystal growth is stopped and the graphene single crystals are deposited on the copper foil, wherein in primary growth and secondary growth, growth gas comprises reduction gas and carbon source gas, and in secondary growth, the partial pressure of the carbon source gas in the growth gas is higher than that of the carbon source gas in the primary growth. The rapid growth method has simple processes and can be industrialized. The graphene single crystal has single crystal domain area size in a subcentimeter level and high single crystal quality and can be used in electronics.

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of materials, and relates to a graphene single crystal and a rapid growth method thereof. Background technique [0002] Graphene is a carbon atom by sp 2 The single-layer or few-layer two-dimensional crystal material formed by hybridization has excellent electrical, optical and mechanical properties. Since its discovery, it has attracted extensive attention from the scientific and industrial circles. Because of the special arrangement of carbon atoms in graphene, its energy band structure presents a Dirac cone with linear dispersion, and the effective mass of carriers is zero, so it has extremely high electron and hole mobility, and gradually Become a strong competitor of silicon-based electronic devices. On the other hand, single-layer graphene has a light transmittance of 97.7%, coupled with its excellent electrical conductivity, it is an ideal material for a new generation of transparent conductive films.
