Development of solution-processed methods for graphene synthesis and device fabrication

Various solution-processed methods have been employed in this work. For the synthesis of graphene, a chemical exfoliation method has been used to generate large graphene flakes in the solution phase. In addition, chemical or electro polymerization has been used for synthesizing polyanthracene, which tends to form graphene nanoribbon through cyclodehydrogenation. For the device fabrication, graphene oxide (GO) thin films were deposited from solution phase on the vapor-silanzed aminosilane surface to make semiconducting active layer or conducting electrodes. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were selectively self-assembled from solution phase to pattern nanowires.
