UV-Epoxy-Enabled Simultaneous Intact transfer and Highly Efficient Doping for Roll-to-Roll Production of High-Performance Graphene Films

2018 
Flexible graphene transparent conductive films (TCFs) prepared by chemical vapor deposition hold great promise for next-generation wearable optoelectronic devices, but the lack of low-cost scalable intact transfer and highly efficient doping greatly limits their commercialization. Here, we report a UV-epoxy adhesive as a robust multifunctional layer for the low-cost scalable production of high-performance flexible graphene TCF. Its high solvent stability, sufficient adhesion force, and conformal contact with graphene enable the intact bubbling transfer of graphene. More importantly, a highly strong and stable p-dopant, superacid HSbF6, is in situ generated from UV-epoxy. HSbF6 substantially increases the hole concentration of pristine graphene by more than 10 times and consequently reduces its sheet resistance by up to 95% with high stability. Furthermore, it can be readily integrated with the roll-to-roll transfer process. These features enable continuous production of graphene TCFs with overall performa...
