Electrohydrodynamic Atomization of Graphene Nano-Suspension

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, graphene nanosuspension was spray deposited using electrohydrodynamic atomization (EHDA) technique, and the polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) was used as the substrate during the EHDA process. The effect of the PDMS substrate before and after oxygen plasma treatment on the characteristics of EHDA was examined. A cone-jet mode of the EHDA of graphene nanosuspension was obtained using the oxygen plasma treated PDMS substrate. In addition graphene films were deposited on the oxygen plasma treated PDMS at different working distances. The lowest sheet resistance of the graphene films is 127Ω·sq-1. Furthermore, graphene lines at the range of 30μm-170μm were fabricated using the template assisted EHDA deposition method.
