Preparation of graphene layers by various methods and characterization of their properties
Zahradníček, Radim ; Bartošík, Miroslav (referee) ; Lišková, Zuzana (advisor)
This bachelor's thesis deals with the production of graphene by different methods. Graphene was prepared by mechanical exfoliation and chemical methods. Graphene oxide (GO) was first prepared by modified Hummers method and disolved the solution in isopropyl alcohol. It was subsequently reduced by photoreduction, UV radiation and thermal reduction. Produced graphene samples were characterized using optical microscopy, electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, Raman spectroscopy and X$-$ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Measurement results and evaluation of production quality of graphene are shown in this work.
Fabrication of nanostructures on graphite/graphene layers and measurement its transport properties at room temperature
Hrabovský, Miloš ; Urbánek, Michal (referee) ; Bartošík, Miroslav (advisor)
This bachelor thesis is dedicated to fabrication of graphite/graphene layers and measurement of their transport properties. Graphene flakes were deposited by mechanical exfoliation. For contacting graphene flakes was used electron beam lithography and were observed using optical microscopy and atomic force microscopy. The thesis describes the steps for the production, observation and measurement of deposited graphene flakes. Results, problems and solutions of these problems are given in the experimental work.
Examination of Graphene with Very Slow Electrons
Mikmeková, Eliška ; Frank, Luděk
Although graphene has been available and intensively studied for nearly a full decade, new methods are still required for its examination and diagnostics. Even checking the continuity of layers and the reliable counting of layers of graphene and other 2D crystals should be easier to perform. Scanning electron microscopy with slow and very slow electrons offers an innovative tool enabling one to see graphene samples at nanometer or even sub-nanometer lateral resolution in both transmitted and reflected electrons and to count the number of layers reliably in both imaging modes. Diagnostics can be performed in this way on freestanding graphene samples as well as on graphene grown on the surfaces of bulk substrates. Moreover, bombardment with very slow electrons acts as an ultimate cleaning procedure removing adsorbed gases from crystal surfaces which can be monitored in scanned transmission electron images taken at below 50 eV.
Microscopic characterization of graphene material and electronic quality across neighbouring, differently oriented copper grains
Čermák, Jan ; Yamada, T. ; Ganzerová, Kristína ; Rezek, Bohuslav
We study graphene grown across the boundary of three such grains having bright, medium, and dark color in reflection. Raman micro-spectroscopy proves presence of mostly a monoor bi-layer graphene on all the grains. Yet intensity of Raman 2D band is grain-dependent: highest at the darkest grain and lowest at the brightest one. Contrary, conductive atomic force microscopy detects the highest conductivity at the brightest grain and the lowest current at the darkest grain. This is attributed to dominant electrical current path through graphene and underlying oxide thickness of which also depends on the type of copper grain. We correlate and discuss the results with view to better understanding of graphene growth and electronic properties on large area copper substrates.
DYE SENSITISED SOLAR CELLS: NEW CHALLENGES FROM GRAPHENE CATHODE AND IODINE-FREE ELECTROLYTE
Kavan, Ladislav
Graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) in the form of thin semitransparent film on F-doped SnO2 (FTO) exhibit high electrocatalytic activity for Co(L)2; where L is 6-(lH-pyrazol-l-yl)- 2,2‘-bipyridine. GNP films with optical transmission below 88% are outperforming the activity of platinized FTO for the Co2+/3+(L)2 redox reaction. Dye-sensitized solar cells with Y123 dye adsorbed on TiO2 photoanode achieved energy conversion efficiencies between 8 to 10 % for both GNP and Pt-based cathodes. However, the cell with GNP cathode is superior to that with Pt-FTO cathode in fill factors and in the efficiency at higher illumination intensities.
GRAPHENE UNDER UNIAXIAL DEFORMATION: A RAMAN STUDY
Frank, Otakar ; Tsoukleri, G. ; Parthenios, J. ; Papagelis, K. ; Riaz, I. ; Jalil, R. ; Novoselov, K. S. ; Kalbáč, Martin ; Kavan, Ladislav ; Galiotis, C.
The presented work summarizes various aspects of uniaxial deformation in monolayer graphene studied by means of Raman spectroscopy. Graphene flakes were subjected to tension - compression uniaxial loading using the cantilever beam technique. The evolution of the Raman single-resonance (G) and double-resonance (2D) bands was monitored at strain levels < 1%. The position of all peaks redshifts under tension and blueshifts under compression. The G peak splitting into two sub-bands (G(-) and G(+)) which is caused by symmetry lowering, is observed in both strain directions. The sub-bands' intensities are used to calculate the crystal lattice orientation of the measured graphene flakes with respect to the strain axis. The nature and splitting of the 2D band even in the unstrained flakes, when excited by the 785 nm (1.58 eV) laser line, is interpreted as the interplay between two distinct double resonance scattering processes.
Pulsed linear antenna microwave plasma – a step ahead in large area material depositions and surface functionalization
Kromka, Alexander ; Babchenko, Oleg ; Ižák, Tibor ; Potocký, Štěpán ; Davydova, Marina ; Neykova, Neda ; Kozak, Halyna ; Remeš, Zdeněk ; Hruška, Karel ; Rezek, Bohuslav
A technological progress in the large area growth of diamond films and carbon nanotubes by the modified linear antenna MW system is presented. We show a correlation between process parameters and nano- or poly-crystalline film character. A challenging part, diamond coated mirrors or ATR prisms, are shown as multifunctional optical elements suitable for detection of absorbed molecules. Additional positive feature of the presented plasma system is low temperature hydrogen functionalization of diamond films. Finally, we present that combination of pulsed MW plasma with radiofrequency substrate biasing results in growth of oriented CNTs over large area.
