Electronic circuit having graphene oxide paper substrate and method of recovering parts of an electronic circuit

Abstract

There is described a method of recovering parts of an electronic circuit having a self-supporting substrate having graphene oxide (GO) paper, and at least a conductive trace on the self-supporting substrate. The method generally has a step of immersing the electronic circuit into an environment-friendly solvent, the GO paper thereby dissociating from the conductive trace; and a step of recovering the GO paper from the environment-friendly solvent. The present disclosure also describes an electronic circuit generally having a self-supporting substrate having GO paper with a structural thickness being equal or above a given thickness threshold; and at least a conductive trace on said self-supporting substrate. Further, there is also described a substrate for an electronic circuit in which the substrate generally has a self-supporting substrate having GO paper with a structural thickness being equal or above a given thickness threshold.
