Effect of airborne contaminants on the wettability of supported graphene and graphite
2013
Contact-angle and spectroscopy experiments on clean supported graphene and graphite show that these surfaces become more hydrophobic as they adsorb airborne hydrocarbons. Furthermore, the water contact angle on these graphitic surfaces decreases if these contaminants are partially removed by both thermal annealing and controlled ultraviolet–ozone treatments, suggesting that graphitic surfaces are more hydrophilic than previously believed.
