Description

Single crystal graphene and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to graphene, in particular to single crystal graphene and a preparation method thereof.
Background
Graphene is a carbon atom sp-bonded structure 2 The hybridized single-layer or few-layer two-dimensional crystal material has excellent electrical, optical and mechanical properties. Has been found to receive particular attention from the scientific and industrial communities since the discovery. In the graphene growth process, if lattice orientations of different domains are not perfectly consistent but have a certain angle deviation, linear defects, namely, what we call grain boundaries, are generated after splicing. Existence of grain boundary, the property of the crystal boundary to grapheneThe properties have adverse effects including reduced electrical mobility, reduced mechanical strength, reduced thermal conductivity, and the like. Therefore, the preparation of the large-size and grain boundary-free single crystal graphene has important significance for improving the quality of the graphene.
Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) is currently the most potential method of achieving high quality graphene among the various fabrication methods. The current CVD method for growing single-crystal graphene mainly includes the following two methods: 1) The nucleation density of the graphene is reduced as much as possible, the nucleation speed of the graphene is reduced, a single crystal seed is controlled, and the single crystal seed gradually grows up to obtain large-size single crystal graphene; 2) By using the single crystal substrate, the graphene seed crystals are induced to adopt consistent orientation, and then the grown and seamless splicing is carried out, so that the large-size single crystal graphene is obtained.
At present, in the growth methods developed by adopting the growth strategy of the graphene, the first method is often slow in growth speed, and the efficiency of the first method limits the amplification of the graphene preparation process; in the second method, although the speed of growing and preparing graphene is greatly improved, the condition that a small part of domain regions are not completely oriented uniformly so as to introduce part of grain boundaries occurs, and the performance and quality of graphene are reduced. Therefore, it is meaningful to further search for a preparation technology method of single crystal graphene and find a growth method of the single crystal graphene which is completely aligned and perfectly spliced.

According to the method provided by the embodiment of the invention, in the step S1, reducing gas is not introduced, so that the nucleation process is completely controlled by the induction of the single crystal substrate, and thus the nucleation orientations of graphene are completely consistent; and step S2, introducing reducing gas, such as hydrogen, again to accelerate the growth of the graphene, so that the graphene cores in the same orientation grow and are seamlessly spliced to form the single crystal graphene film.
The single crystal graphene and the preparation method thereof according to an embodiment of the present invention are further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific examples. Wherein the raw materials used are all commercially available.
Example 1
The preparation of the single crystal graphene comprises a pretreatment process of a substrate and a growth process of the graphene, wherein the two processes are carried out in the same reactor, namely, the substrate does not move in the preparation process.
Pretreatment of substrates
1) The copper foil (produced by Alfa Aesar, purity 99.8%, thickness 25 μm) was electrochemically polished in an ethylene phosphate solution at a phosphoric acid mass concentration of 85%, a phosphoric acid to ethylene glycol volume ratio of 3, and a polishing current density of about 100A/m 2 Polishing for about 30min; the polished copper foil is washed clean with deionized water and dried with nitrogen.
2) The polished copper foil is placed in a sleeve with magnetic control, the sleeve is placed in a large quartz tube of a tube furnace, and the temperature is raised to the annealing temperature of 1020 ℃ in argon of 500 sccm.
3) And after the temperature of the system rises to 1020 ℃, stopping introducing argon, changing to introducing 500sccm hydrogen, keeping the hydrogen flow unchanged, and annealing in the atmosphere for 30min to obtain the annealed copper foil.
Growth of graphene
S1: keeping the temperature of the system at 1020 ℃ of the temperature in the step 3), stopping introducing hydrogen, introducing 2000sccm argon and 0.8sccm methane into the system, performing primary growth, and performing reaction for 1min to form discrete graphene islands with consistent orientation.
S2: and introducing hydrogen into the system again, increasing the hydrogen flow from 0 to 1200sccm, reducing the argon flow from 2000 to 800sccm, keeping the methane flow unchanged, performing secondary growth, and performing the reaction for 30min.
Example 2
The raw materials and process conditions used in this example are substantially the same as those in example 1, except that: in step S1, the flow rate of argon is 1500sccm, the flow rate of methane is 0.5sccm, and the growth time (reaction time) is 30S; in step S2, the flow rate of argon gas is 1000sccm, the flow rate of hydrogen gas is 500sccm, the flow rate of methane is 0.5sccm, and the growth time is 20min.
Comparative example
In this example, the pretreatment process of the substrate is the same as in example 1, and the graphene growth process includes: keeping the temperature of the system at 1020 ℃, and continuously introducing argon, hydrogen and methane into the system, wherein the flow of the argon is 800sccm, the flow of the hydrogen is 1200sccm, the flow of the methane is 0.8sccm, and the growth time is 31min.
Fig. 2 is a photograph of single crystal graphene grown in example 1 under an optical microscope (scale bar is 100 μm). As can be seen from the figure, the hexagonal domains of all the graphene islands are arranged in parallel, i.e., the orientation is uniform. According to literature reports, if the two graphene domains have different orientations and have a certain angle, an identifiable grain boundary can be formed after long and large splicing, but a similar phenomenon is not observed in fig. 2, and no grain boundary is generated in the spliced domains, so that the graphene domains in fig. 2 have the same orientation, which can indicate that the prepared graphene is single-crystal graphene. In addition, for the convenience of optical microscope characterization, the continuous graphene single crystal film is not prepared in example 1, and based on the growth method in example 1, the growth time of step S2 is only required to be continuously prolonged, so that the graphene domains which are not fused with each other can be further grown and fused, and the continuous single crystal graphene film can be formed by seamless splicing.
Fig. 3 is a photograph of the single crystalline graphene grown in example 2 under an optical microscope (scale bar is 100 μm). As can also be seen from the figure, the prepared graphene is single crystalline graphene.
Fig. 4 is a photograph under an optical microscope (scale bar 100 μm) of graphene obtained by comparative example growth. As shown in the figure, the graphene prepared in the comparative example is polycrystalline graphene.
Fig. 5a is a selected area electron diffraction image of the single crystalline graphene prepared in example 1 under a transmission electron microscope, and it can be seen that the single crystalline graphene has only one set of diffraction spots. FIG. 5b is the extracted diffraction peak, and it can be seen that the first order diffraction peak is higher than the second order diffraction peak. The combination of the two can show that the prepared single crystal graphene is single-layer graphene.
FIGS. 6a and 6b are respectively the histogram of the statistical distribution of the orientation angle of different domains of the single crystal graphene prepared in example 1 and a representative electron diffraction image of selected regions (scale bar 5 nm) -1 ) It can be seen that the relative deviation of the orientation angle distribution of the graphene does not exceed 1.5 °, which indicates that the orientation of the graphene is well kept consistent, and the graphene is single-crystal graphene.
