Chemical stitching of a reduced and fluorine decorated graphene oxide quilt

Abstract

This work demonstrated the possibility of obtaining continuous thin transparent films of reduced graphene oxide of large size. The process of chemical interaction of individual graphene oxide microsheets is implemented in a planar version on a silicon substrate with an oxide layer during preheating and subsequent reduction under hydrothermal conditions. Based on the results of thermal analysis, in situ X-ray diffraction, and results of XPS, a model of the chemical interaction of functional groups of graphene oxide during its primary thermal and subsequent hydrothermal treatment is proposed. The thin films obtained in this work were transferred to a measuring structure and their conductive properties were measured in planar and vertical geometries.
