  • Patent number: 11820053
    Abstract: An efficient method for preparing a highly-directional highly-dense two-dimensional material film. The method comprises: using a circular tube with a smooth inner surface as a casting mold; and pouring a solution containing a two-dimensional material into the mold when the mold rotates at high speed in a circumferential direction, wherein the solution is uniformly coated on the inner surface of the mold by centrifugal force, the centrifugal rotation generating a shearing force that causes the two-dimensional material to be directionally and regularly arranged layer upon layer in a circumferential direction in the solution, and, the centrifugal force facilitates highly-dense accumulation of the two-dimensional material, thereby obtaining a highly-directional highly-dense two-dimensional material film.

  • Publication number: 20220316054
    Abstract: Disclosed are a transition metal chalcogenide thin-layer material, a preparation method and an application thereof. The preparation method comprises: uniformly spreading a transition metal source between two substrates to prepare a sandwich structure; performing a heat treatment on the sandwich structure to fuse and bond the two substrates together, and performing a chemical vapor deposition reaction on a chalcogen element source and the fused and bonded sandwich structure under the protection of a protective gas, wherein the transition metal source is heated to dissolve and diffuse at a reaction temperature, separated out from surfaces of the substrates, and reacts with the chalcogen element source. The prepared thin-layer material is uniformly distributed in a centimeter-level substrate.

  • Patent number: 10508037
    Abstract: Provided is a method for continuously preparing graphene oxide nanoplatelets by electrochemical treatment, comprising using a continuous graphite product, successively processing two step treatments, i.e. an electrochemical intercalation and an electrolytic oxidation stripping. The electrochemical intercalation is carried out in a concentrated acid, using a graphite material as an anode and energizing under a soaking condition such that acid radical ions enter into graphite interlamination under the drive of an electric field, to form an intercalated graphite continuous material with first-order or low-order intercalation. The electrolytic stripping is using the intercalated continuous graphite material as an anode, energizing in an aqueous electrolyte solution, and performing oxidation stripping.

  • Publication number: 20190256356
    Abstract: A single-walled carbon nanotube flexible transparent conductive thin film with a carbon welded structure and a preparation method therefor. In the process of growing a single-walled carbon nanotube by means of floating catalyst chemical vapor deposition, the concentrations of a catalyst and a carbon source and the residence time thereof in the constant temperature region are reduced, so that part of the carbon source decomposed by means of the catalyst forms an sp2 carbon island which is welded at the intersection of individual single-walled carbon nanotubes, and finally, a single-walled carbon nanotube thin film with an sp2 carbon island welded structure is formed.

  • Patent number: 9216559
    Abstract: A method for transferring graphene nondestructively and at a low cost. In the method, a graphene is used whose surface is coated with transferring media and whose original substrate is an electrode, the electrode is placed into an electrolyte, and the graphene is separated from the original substrate by means of the driving force of bubbles and the gas intercalation produced on the graphene electrode surface during electrolysis. Then, the graphene coated with transferring media is nondestructively combined with a target substrate. The transferring media is removed so as to transfer the graphene to the target substrate nondestructively. The transferring method results in no damage or loss with respect to the graphene and the original substrate, and the original substrate can be re-used. Furthermore, the method is easy to perform, works quickly, is easy to control, and is pollution-free.
