Electromechanical properties of graphene transparent conducting films for flexible electronics
چکیده انگلیسی


• A practical study of the electromechanical properties of graphene film is presented.
• Inner/outer bending, twisting and stretching properties were examined on graphene.
• We provide the electromechanical properties of graphene for the flexible electronics.

We report a systematic study of the electromechanical properties of graphene films for flexible transparent conducting electrodes. The flexibility of graphene films, which were grown using a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method and transfer process on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrates, was investigated using a lab-made inner/outer bending, twisting and stretching test system. The electromechanical properties as a function of the change of bending radius, twisting angle and strain distance were evaluated by measuring the change in resistance. The change in resistance during the inner bending test was less than 8% even when the bending radius was 3 mm. Additionally, the results of the inner bending fatigue test showed a constant resistance throughout 2000 bending cycles. However, in the outer bending test, the resistance increased substantially when the bending radius was smaller than 10 mm. Therefore, we can expect that more cracks form between the grains of graphene during the outer bending test. The twistability and stretchability of the graphene film were also investigated. Both twisting and stretching tests show gradually increasing resistances according to the twisting angle and stretching distance. These results provide useful information regarding the electromechanical properties of graphene transparent conducting films for the development of flexible electronics.
