Abstract
Provided are methods for forming graphene or functionalized graphene thin films. Also provided are graphene and functionalized graphene thin films formed by the methods. For example, electrophoretic deposition methods and stamping methods are used. Defect-free thin films can be formed. Patterned films can be formed. The methods can provide conformal coatings on non-planar substrates.
Claims20
A method for forming graphene thin films or functionalized graphene coatings comprising the steps of:
- a) providing a conducting substrate;
- and
- b) electrophoretically forming the graphene or functionalized graphene using a solution comprising exfoliated graphene sheets or exfoliated functionalized graphene sheets;
- such that a thin film of graphene or functionalized graphene is formed on the substrate.
A graphene or functionalized graphene thin film, wherein the thin film is free of detectible pin-hole defects.
