Large Area Synthesis of Graphene
The creation of large-area graphene using copper may enable the manufacture of new graphene-based devices that meet the scaling requirements of the semiconductor industry, leading to faster computers and electronics, according to a team of scientists and engineers at The University of Texas at Austin.
Their work titled “Large-Area Synthesis of High-Quality and Uniform Graphene Films on Copper Foils” was published today online in Science Express in advance of its print publication in the journal Science.
"Graphene could lead to faster computers that use less power, and to other sorts of devices for communications such as very high-frequency (radio-frequency-millimeter wave) devices,” said Professor and physical chemist Rod Ruoff, one of the corresponding authors on the Science article. “Graphene might also find use as optically transparent and electrically conductive films for image display technology and for use in solar photovoltaic electrical power generation.”
