Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of bilayer graphene, and particularly to a preparation method of bilayer graphene. Background Art

[0002] Bilayer graphene is a two-dimensional material stacked by two layers of single-atom-thick graphene. Its unique interlayer coupling and tunable electronic structure have attracted much attention in the research of condensed matter physics and the application of nanodevices. At present, the preparation methods of bilayer graphene mostly rely on chemical vapor deposition (CVD) on metal substrates (such as Cu or Ni) and subsequent transfer processes. This process is not only complex and inefficient, but also prone to introduce pollution, stress and structural defects, which limits its practical application in high-end devices. In order to avoid the adverse effects brought by the transfer, directly growing graphene on a sapphire substrate is regarded as an ideal solution. Among them, the sapphire substrate, due to its excellent thermal stability, electrical insulation and mechanical strength, becomes one of the ideal candidate materials for direct epitaxial growth of graphene. Especially under the application requirements of pursuing high-quality and transfer-free graphene films, the industrial compatibility and low-cost advantages of the sapphire substrate show good application prospects. However, limited by its low catalytic activity, directly growing graphene on its surface faces problems such as high nucleation energy barrier, low carbon source decomposition efficiency and difficulty in layer number control. In particular, the direct growth of high-quality bilayer graphene is more challenging. Summary of the Invention

[0005] For this purpose, the present invention provides a preparation method of bilayer graphene, including the following steps: (1) placing the sapphire substrate in a reaction chamber, and heating it to a target temperature of 1390 - 1410 °C under an inert atmosphere; (2) continuously introducing hydrogen, and alternately introducing the carbon source gas 2 - 4 times. Among them, after annealing with hydrogen for 5 - 15 minutes each time, introducing the carbon source gas to deposit and grow graphene on the surface of the sapphire substrate for 20 - 40 minutes; (3) closing the hydrogen and the carbon source gas, and cooling to room temperature under an inert atmosphere.

[0014] In some embodiments, in step (3), when cooling to 100 °C, the system pressure is adjusted to atmospheric pressure using an inert atmosphere.

[0015] In some embodiments, step (1) further includes a step of activating the sapphire substrate. The activation step includes a step of introducing hydrogen into the reaction chamber. The flow rate of hydrogen introduced is 200 - 400 sccm, and the time for introducing hydrogen is 8 - 15 minutes.

[0016] In some embodiments, the sapphire substrate undergoes a reaction after pretreatment. The pretreatment steps include successively ultrasonic cleaning the sapphire substrate with acetone, absolute ethanol, and deionized water, and then purging the sapphire substrate with an inert atmosphere.

For reagents or instruments without the manufacturer indicated, they are all conventional reagent products that can be obtained through commercial purchase.

[0032] Example 1

[0033] Refer to Figure 1 As shown, this example provides a method for preparing bilayer graphene, and the specific steps and parameters are as follows:

[0034] (1) Pretreatment of sapphire substrate:

[0035] Substrate cleaning: Place the C-plane (0001) sapphire wafer (size 2 inches) substrate in acetone, absolute ethanol, and deionized water in sequence for ultrasonic cleaning. Each ultrasonic cleaning lasts for 10 minutes to remove surface organic substances and particulate pollutants, and then dry it with high-purity nitrogen for standby.

[0036] Chamber pretreatment: Use a clean dust-free cloth and a dust suction device to preliminarily clean the inside of the reaction chamber to remove attached dust particles and residual impurities.

[0037] Atmosphere replacement: Introduce high-purity argon into the reaction chamber for 15 minutes to purge residual air and impurity gases, ensuring the cleanliness and stability of the reaction environment.

[0038] Sample loading: Place the substrate in a graphite carrier and position it in the central area of the chamber of a cold-wall electromagnetic induction heating reaction furnace to ensure the symmetry of the thermal field and close the chamber.

[0039] (2) Activate the sapphire substrate:

[0040] Vacuum pumping and atmosphere backfilling: Turn on the vacuum system, pump the chamber pressure below 5 Pa. After confirming the airtightness is correct, introduce 1000 sccm of argon and slowly backfill to 5000 Pa to establish the initial reaction atmosphere.

[0041] Heating rate control: Start the temperature control system and heat up to 1400 °C according to the preset heating program. The specific preset heating program is: heat up at a rate of 10 °C / min in the range of 20–1000 °C, and heat up at a rate of 5 °C / min in the range of 1000–1400 °C to ensure a uniform heating process without thermal shock.

[0042] High-temperature annealing: After the temperature rises to 1400 °C, introduce hydrogen (300 sccm) and anneal for 10 minutes to clean the substrate surface and activate the reaction interface, which is beneficial for subsequent nucleation and growth.

[0043] (3) Cyclic growth:

[0044] First round of injection: Methane (80 sccm) was introduced for 30 minutes, and then methane was turned off while hydrogen was retained for an additional 10 minutes of annealing;

[0045] Second round of injection: The steps of the first round of injection were repeated once;

[0046] Third round of injection: Methane (80 sccm) was continuously injected for 30 minutes to complete the entire growth stage.

[0047] During the cyclic growth process, argon and hydrogen were continuously introduced into the reaction chamber. During the entire cyclic growth process, the carbon source gas was alternately introduced 3 times.

[0048] (4) Post-treatment:

[0049] Cooling and gas protection: After the graphene growth stage ended, methane, hydrogen, and the heating system were immediately turned off, and the chamber was allowed to cool naturally to room temperature. Argon was continuously introduced during the cooling process to protect the sample and prevent secondary carbon deposition.

[0050] Sample removal: After the temperature dropped below 100 °C, the vacuum system was turned off and the chamber was backfilled with argon to atmospheric pressure. The chamber was opened, and the sapphire substrate was removed to obtain a high-quality, bilayer graphene sample with controllable number of layers.

[0051] The bilayer graphene sample prepared in this example was scanned by atomic force microscopy. For the microscopic morphology image, see Figure 2 , it can be seen that the bilayer graphene prepared in this example has a continuous wavy structure and slight wrinkles, indicating that the film morphology is flat.

[0052] The bilayer graphene sample prepared in this example was characterized by Raman spectroscopy. The results are shown in Figure 3 , it can be seen that the intensity ratio of the D peak to the G peak is extremely low, indicating excellent crystal quality and extremely low defect density. The ratio of the 2D peak to the D peak further confirms the bilayer characteristics of the film.

[0053] The optical transmittance of the bilayer graphene sample prepared in this example was measured in the visible light band of 250 - 800 nm. The results are shown in Figure 4 , it can be seen that the bilayer graphene prepared in this example has excellent optical transmittance in the visible light band, and the average transmittance is close to 95%, which is in line with the theoretical light absorption rate of bilayer graphene.

[0054] The resistance distribution of the bilayer graphene sample taken out in this example was detected. The results are shown in Figure 5 , it can be seen that the surface resistance of the sample is mainly concentrated in the range of 1000 - 1500 Ω / sq, showing good electrical conductivity uniformity, which proves that the bilayer graphene prepared in this example has good uniformity. Further, the sample was scanned by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The results are shown in Figure 6, it can be seen that graphene forms a continuous and tightly adherent bilayer structure on the surface of the sapphire substrate, with a clear interface and no obvious cracks or folds on the surface.
