Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to graphene-derived materials and chemical vapor deposition (CVD) preparation technology thereof, and in particular to a graphene micron sieve, a preparation method thereof and application in a gas sensor. Background Art
[0002] Graphene is a carbon atom sp 2 This ultra-thin, two-dimensional material, composed of a single atomic layer of hybrids tightly packed into a hexagonal honeycomb lattice, possesses unique crystal structure that imparts excellent optical, electrical, thermal, and mechanical properties. This unique structure holds great promise for applications in transparent conductive films, flexible electronics, electrochemical energy storage, graphene composites, biomedicine, and sensing. Graphene sieves, a specialized structure consisting of a single or few layers of graphene with a high density of perforations, possess a greater surface area and more boundaries than conventional graphene films. This provides a large number of active sites for adsorption of molecules, giving them enormous potential for application in gas sensors.
[0003] Currently, there are two main methods for preparing graphene sieves. One is the top-down approach, which typically involves transferring graphene grown by mechanical exfoliation or metal CVD onto a non-metallic substrate such as SiO2 / Si and etching it into the graphene sieve using a porous mask. The other is the bottom-up approach, which uses porous metal templates or self-assembled metal spheres as catalysts to grow the graphene sieve on a SiO2 / Si substrate. However, both methods suffer from the prominent problem of contamination and doping of the graphene sieve by residues left when removing conventional "hard" templates. Furthermore, the pretreatment steps are numerous and the production cycle is long. Therefore, developing a method for directly growing graphene sieves on non-metallic substrates such as SiO2 / Si is of great significance. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The present invention aims to provide a method for preparing a graphene microsieve. This method offers the advantages of simple operation, good controllability, and environmental friendliness. It effectively addresses the current challenges of patterned graphene preparation, such as the proneness to contamination and damage at the edges, complex processes, and high production costs. It also lays the foundation for research into the in-situ construction of electronic devices using graphene microsieves without transfer. Another object of the present invention is to provide the use of graphene microsieves as sensitive materials in gas sensors for detecting gas molecules, detecting the presence and concentration of gases by monitoring changes in resistance or conductivity.
[0005] Based on the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:
[0006] A method for preparing a graphene micron sieve comprises the following steps:
[0007] 1) Place the cleaned non-metallic substrate in a quartz tube at room temperature, and fill it with heated carrier gas and water vapor in a non-oxidizing atmosphere to form water droplets on the non-metallic substrate;
[0008] 2) Heating the substrate pretreated in step 1) from room temperature to a growth temperature of 900-1200°C for at least 1 minute to form a reaction system;
[0009] 3) Maintaining the temperature in step 2) unchanged, turning off the carrier gas and water vapor, introducing a carbon source and hydrogen into the reaction system in step 2), and growing a graphene micromesh on the substrate treated in step 2) for a growth time of 20 to 180 minutes;
[0010] 4) After the reaction is completed, the carbon source and hydrogen are turned off, and the mixture is cooled to room temperature under the protection of a non-oxidizing atmosphere to obtain a graphene micron sieve.
[0011] Furthermore, in step 1), the non-metallic substrate used includes but is not limited to a silicon wafer, a quartz wafer, boron nitride, alumina, a mica wafer or a silicon wafer with a silicon dioxide coating.
[0012] Furthermore, in step 1) and step 4), the non-oxidizing atmosphere is nitrogen or an inert gas or a mixture of the two.
[0013] Furthermore, in step 1), the method of heating the carrier gas and water vapor includes but is not limited to a water bath, an alcohol bath, an oil bath, a sand bath, electric heating and microwave heating.
[0014] Furthermore, in step 1), water vapor is brought into the reaction system through a carrier gas, and the carrier gas used is at least one of nitrogen and an inert gas, and the volume purity of both is greater than 99.9%. The amount of water vapor added is adjusted by changing the carrier gas flow rate, and the carrier gas flow rate is greater than 0 to 100 ml / min.
[0015] Furthermore, in step 1), the time required for condensation to form water droplets on the substrate is 1 to 20 minutes.
[0016] Furthermore, in step 2), the time required for the substrate to be heated from room temperature to the growth temperature is 1 to 5 minutes. After reaching the growth temperature, the substrate is maintained for 1 to 10 minutes.
[0017] Furthermore, in step 3), the carbon source used is a hydrocarbon: at least one of methane, ethane, acetylene, ethylene, methanol, ethanol, benzene, toluene, and cyclohexane, the volume ratio of the carbon source to hydrogen is (0.1-10):1, and the flow rate of hydrogen is 1-500 ml / min.
[0018] Furthermore, when the carbon source is liquid, it is placed in a Mengniu washing bottle and brought into the reaction system by bubbling a carrier gas. The molar ratio of the carbon source to the carrier gas is (0.1~10):1, and the carrier gas is nitrogen or an inert gas or a mixture of the two.
[0019] Furthermore, in step 4), the cooling rate is not less than 1°C / s. The cooling rate is generally 1°C / s to 10°C / s.
[0020] The graphene micron sieve prepared by the above preparation method mainly has graphene nucleation points formed in a circle. As the growth time increases, the nucleation points grow and the inside of the spliced film becomes sieve-shaped, and the average pore size ranges from submicron to tens of microns.
[0021] The above-mentioned graphene micron sieve is used as a sensitive material of a gas sensor in detecting gas molecules.
[0022] Furthermore, the gas molecules are nitrogen dioxide, hydrogen, carbon monoxide, ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, volatile organic compounds or other harmful gases.
[0023] The process of detecting gas molecules is as follows:
[0024] a. Connect electrodes at both ends of the graphene micron sieve to obtain a sensor, ensuring good contact between the electrodes and the graphene micron sieve in order to apply voltage and measure the conductivity change of the graphene micron sieve;
[0025] b. Calibrate the sensor using a series of standard gases of known concentration to establish the relationship between conductivity change and gas concentration;
[0026] c. Place the graphene microsieve in a test gas environment, apply a known voltage, measure the conductivity change of the graphene microsieve, and record the conductivity change data of the graphene microsieve under different gas concentrations;
[0027] d. Analyze the collected data, determine the relationship between gas concentration and resistivity change, and calculate the concentration of the gas to be measured;
[0028] e. After each test, clean the graphene micron sieve using clean gas or a vacuum system to remove adsorbed gas molecules to ensure the reusability and accuracy of the sensor.
[0029] The design concept of the present invention is:
[0030] The condensation phenomenon is used to liquefy the introduced water vapor on the substrate surface to form water droplets. After high-temperature rapid heating treatment, the area in contact with the water droplets on the growth substrate can form an oxygen-rich structure, while other areas remain unchanged. During the CVD process, the oxygen-rich structure will inhibit the nucleation / growth of graphene, so that the final grown graphene film has a sieve-like structure.
[0031] The characteristics and beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0032] 1. The present invention proposes a green method for preparing graphene micron sieve. The water droplet mask formed by liquefaction of water vapor does not need to be removed. It has the advantages of simple operation, good controllability and no pollution.
[0033] 2. The graphene micron sieve prepared by the present invention can realize the in-situ construction of gas sensor devices on non-metallic substrates, avoiding problems such as graphene material contamination and damage caused by the transfer process. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
