Abstract: A method for forming a thermoelectric element for use in a thermoelectric device comprises forming a mask adjacent to a substrate. The mask can include three-dimensional structures phase-separated in a polymer matrix. The three-dimensional structures can be removed to provide a plurality of holes in the polymer matrix. The plurality of holes can expose portions of the substrate. A layer of a metallic material can be deposited adjacent to the mask and exposed portions of the substrate. The mask can then be removed. The metallic material is then exposed to an oxidizing agent and an etchant to form holes or wires in the substrate.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing an inorganic-nano structure composite, a method for manufacturing a cabon nanotube composite by using the same, and a carbon nanotube composite manufactured by the same are provided. The method for manufacturing the inorganic-nano structure composite comprises a step of doping pentavalent elements on the nanostructure; and a step of growing the inorganic material from the doping points of the pentavalent elements by dipping the nanostructure on which the pentavalent elements are doped into a precursor solution of the inorganic material, and according to the present invention the pentavalent elements such as nitrogen are doped on the nanostructure and is utilized as the crystallization point of the inorganic material, instead of forming the separate coating layer to the organic-based nanostructure, or binding the binding group to the surface.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a 3-dimensional nanostructure having nanomaterials stacked on a graphene substrate; and more specifically, to a 3-dimensional nanostructure having at least one nanomaterial selected from nanotubes, nanowires, nanorods, nanoneedles and nanoparticles grown on a reduced graphene substrate. The present invention enables the achievement of a synergy effect of the 3-dimensional nanostructure hybridizing 1-dimensional nanomaterials and 2-dimensional graphene. The nanostructure according to the present invention is excellent in flexibility and elasticity, and can easily be transferred to any substrate having a non-planar surface. Also, all junctions in nanomaterials, a metal catalyst and a graphene film system form the ohmic electrical contact, which allows the nanostructure to easily be incorporated into a field-emitting device.

Abstract: Provided is a transparent graphene film which is prepared by maintaining the primary reduced state of a graphene oxide thin film via chemical reduction, reducing the graphene oxide thin film with chemical vapor deposition, and doping nitrogen, thereby enhancing the conductivity and enabling the control of work function and a manufacturing method thereof. According to the present disclosure, a flexible, transparent, electrical conductivity-enhanced, and work function controllable graphene film can be large area processed and produced in large quantities so that can be applied in real industrial processes by forming a graphene oxide thin film on a substrate, performing the primary chemical reduction using a reducing agent, and performing further the secondary thermal reduction and nitrogen doping by injecting hydrogen and ammonia gas through chemical vapor deposition equipment.
