Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Graphene is a carbon material with extraordinary properties that has been drawing a significant amount of attention in the recent decade. High-quality graphene can be produced by different methods, such as epitaxial growth, chemical vapor deposition, and micromechanical exfoliation. The reduced graphene oxide route is, however, the only current approach that leads to the large-scale production of graphene materials at a reasonable cost. Unfortunately, graphene oxide reduction normally yields graphene materials with a high defect density. Here, we introduce a new route for the large-scale synthesis of graphene that minimizes the creation of structural defects. The method involves high-quality hydrogen functionalization of graphite followed by thermal dehydrogenation. We also demonstrated that the hydrogenated graphene synthesis route can be used for the preparation of high-quality graphene films on glass substrates. A reliable method for the preparation of these types of films is essential for the widespread implementation of graphene devices. The structural evolution from the hydrogenated form to graphene, as well as the quality of the materials and films, was carefully evaluated by Raman spectroscopy.
