Abstract
Two-dimensional copper sheets were introduced as the catalyst and bridge to enhance the electrical and thermal conductivity of graphene films prepared from graphene oxide nanosheets via a thermal reduction method. The effects of adding different amounts of copper sheets in the composite films were investigated, and the results show that the electrical and thermal conductivity of the graphene films could be increased by 3 times and 64.9%, respectively. The two-dimensional copper sheets not only play an important role as a catalyst toward improving the graphitization degree of reduced graphene oxide, but also act as a bridge and promote the interconnection of the electrical and thermal conduction paths in the composite films due to the good electrical and thermal conductivity of copper. Moreover, the heat dissipation experiment shows that this enhanced graphene composite film has potential applications in the heat management of electronics.
