The quest for scalable integration of monolayer graphene into functional composites confronts the bottleneck of high-fidelity transfer onto substrates
crucial for unlocking graphene's full potential in advanced applications. Addressing this
our research introduces the camphor-assisted transfer (CAT) method
a novel approach that surmounts common issues of residue and structural deformation endemic to existing techniques. Grounded in the sublimation dynamics of camphor
the CAT method achieves a clean
contiguous transfer of centimeter-scale monolayer graphene onto an array of polymer films
including ultra-thin polyethylene films. The resultant ultrathin graphene-polyethylene (gPE) films
characterized by their exceptional transparency and conductivity
reveal the CAT method's unique ability to preserve the pristine quality of graphene
underscoring its practicality for preparing flexible transparent electrodes by monolayer graphene. In-depth mechanism investigation into the camphor sublimation during CAT has led to a pivotal realization: the porosity of the target polymer substrate is a determinant in achieving high-quality graphene transfer. Ensuring that camphor sublimates initially from the polymer side is crucial to prevent the formation of wrinkles or delamination of graphene. By extensive examination of CAT on a spectrum of commonly used polymer films
including PE
PP
PTFE
PI and PET
we have confirmed this important conclusion. This discovery offers crucial guidance for fabricating monolayer graphene-polymer composite films using methods akin to CAT
underscoring the significance of substrate selection in the transfer process.
