摘要:

石墨烯在探索基础科学和广泛的技术应用方面都引起了极大的兴趣。化学气相沉积(CVD)是目前唯一的工作方法来生长石墨烯在晶圆级,这是工业应用所需要的。不幸的是,CVD石墨烯本质上是多晶的,原始的石墨烯颗粒通过无序的晶界缝合在一起,这可能是福也可能是祸。一方面,预期晶界会降低多晶石墨烯的电学和机械性能,使得材料对于许多应用而言是不期望的。另一方面,它们表现出增加的化学反应性,这表明它们在传感或作为一维材料合成模板方面的潜在应用。因此,深入了解石墨烯晶界的结构和性质是非常重要的。在这里,我们回顾了石墨烯晶界的识别和电气和化学表征的实验进展。我们使用数值模拟和传输测量来证明石墨烯晶界的电学性质和化学修饰是强烈相关的。这不仅为石墨烯器件的改进提供了指导,而且为高灵敏度电生化器件的工程石墨烯晶界开辟了新的研究领域。

英文摘要:

Graphene has attracted significant interest both for exploring fundamental science and for a wide range of technological applications. Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is currently the only working approach to grow graphene at wafer scale, which is required for industrial applications. Unfortunately, CVD graphene is intrinsically polycrystalline, with pristine graphene grains stitched together by disordered grain boundaries, which can be either a blessing or a curse. On the one hand, grain boundaries are expected to degrade the electrical and mechanical properties of polycrystalline graphene, rendering the material undesirable for many applications. On the other hand, they exhibit an increased chemical reactivity, suggesting their potential application to sensing or as templates for synthesis of one-dimensional materials. Therefore, it is important to gain a deeper understanding of the structure and properties of graphene grain boundaries. Here, we review experimental progress on identification and electrical and chemical characterization of graphene grain boundaries. We use numerical simulations and transport measurements to demonstrate that electrical properties and chemical modification of graphene grain boundaries are strongly correlated. This not only provides guidelines for the improvement of graphene devices, but also opens a new research area of engineering graphene grain boundaries for highly sensitive electrobiochemical devices.
