Acetylene was used as the carbon source with nitrogen as dilution gas, and the pyrolytic carbon started to deposit on the carbon fiber surface when the deposition temperature was reached. The morphology of pyrolytic carbon was characterized by SEM, and the surface properties of carbon fibers before and after CVD were characterized by Raman spectroscopy. The experimental results show that the electric heating method is a novel method to fabricate C/C composite materials, which can form a dense C/C composite material in a short time. The order degree and the average crystallite size of the carbon fiber surface were decreased after the experiment.展开更多

In this article, we demonstrate that continuous monolayer graphene can be synthesized via chemical vapor deposition technique on Cu foils using industrially safe gas mixtures. Important factors, including the appropriate ratio of hydrogen flow and carbon precursor,pressure, and growth time are considered to obtain graphene films. Optical measurements and electrical transport measurements indicate graphene films are with comparable quality to other reports. Such continuous large area graphene can be synthesized under non-flammable and non-explosive conditions, which opens a safe and economical method for mass production of graphene. It is thereby beneficial for integration of graphene into semiconductor electronics.展开更多
