Abstract:
The aim of the proposed project is the synthesis and deposition of graphene based materials in form of continuous thin films. The final objective is the versatile and inexpensive production of graphene-based structures for flexible and transparent electronic devices as interactive displays and organic solar cells. The structures will be immobilised onto flexible polymer sheets commonly used for flexible electronic devices. As a starting material we shall use graphene oxide dispersions. As a first step of our investigations the photoreduction of graphene oxide will be performed. Afterwards, graphene-based materials will be transferred to the polymeric substrates. The physicochemical mechanisms involved in the laser-matter interaction processes will be studied and they will be associated to the compositional, structural as well as functional, electrical (conductivity at the macro and nanoscale) and optical (transmittance in the UV and visible spectral region), properties of the obtained materials.
Objectives:
The objectives of the project can be summarized as following:
O1. Identification of the most appropriate irradiation conditions (incident laser pulse intensity, laser pulse repetition frequency) for the deposition of graphene-polymer nanocomposites which retain the initial structure and properties of the base materials.
O2. Development of graphene-polymer nanocomposite layers based on by laser scanning. Investigation of the influence of laser spot overlapping, laser intensity, pulse duration, graphene oxide concentration in the composites on the structural as well as functional properties of the obtained layers.
O3. Optimization of the adhesion of the laser created structures onto the solid substrate surface by testing different substrate materials.
O4. Study of the obtained structures morphology.
O5. Characterization of the chemical composition and crystalline status of the laser created structures.
O6. Study of the electrical and optical properties of the obtained layers and their integration as electrodes in organic solar cells.
