Large-area ultrathin films of reduced
graphene oxide as a transparent and
flexible electronic material(标题)

The integration of novel materials such as single-walled carbon
nanotubes and nanowires into devices has been challenging, but
developments in transfer printing and solution-based methods
now allow these materials to be incorporated into large-area
electronics1–6. Similar efforts are now being devoted to making
the integration of graphene into devices technologically
feasible7–10. Here, we report a solution-based method that
allows uniform and controllable deposition of reduced
graphene oxide thin films with thicknesses ranging from a
single monolayer to several layers over large areas. The optoelectronic
properties can thus be tuned over several orders of
magnitude, making them potentially useful for flexible and
transparent semiconductors or semi-metals. The thinnest films
exhibit graphene-like ambipolar transistor characteristics,
whereas thicker films behave as graphite-like semi-metals.
Collectively, our deposition method could represent a route for
translating the interesting fundamental properties of graphene
into technologically viable devices.
Electronic devices constructed from a single layer of graphite,
referred to as graphene11, have received significant attention.
Graphene is a 0 eV bandgap semiconductor in which the filled
valence band touches the empty conduction band, thus giving
rise to peculiar properties12 that could have particularly
interesting applications in electronic devices13–16. The discovery of
isolated graphene obtained from the simple mechanical cleaving
‘Scotch tape method’11 has made fabrication of devices on
individual graphene sheets straightforward. Effort is also under
way to grow large-area epitaxial graphene17,18. In addition,
promising approaches based on transfer printing of exfoliated
graphene onto electrodes on different substrates for large-scale
integration have been reported recently7–9.
In addition to individual sheet devices, efforts to obtain
graphene-based composites through the reduction of graphene
oxide (GO) in solution and incorporation into hosts have also
yielded promising results19. Recently, there have been reports of
non-composite reduction of GO into graphene using chemical
routes and high-temperature annealing20–25. The chemical
approach is appealing because it opens a route for the deposition
of graphene from solution, allowing devices to be fabricated on
virtually any surface.
We describe a simple and reproducible method to uniformly
deposit between one and five layers of graphene from reduced
GO in the form of thin films to create transistors and proof-ofconcept
electrodes for organic photovoltaics (see Supplementary
Information). A GO aqueous suspension can be readily obtained
from exfoliation of graphite through oxidation26,27 (see
Methods). Methods such as drop casting20,24, rapid freezing by
spraying21 and dip coating22 from GO suspension have been used
to obtain isolated individual and multilayered sheets or thin
films. In order to reproducibly achieve uniform thin films with a
controllable number of GO layers over large areas, we have used
the vacuum filtration method, which has been used widely to
deposit highly uniform single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT)
thin films2,28,29.
Vacuum filtration involves the filtration of a GO suspension
through a commercial mixed cellulose ester membrane with an
average pore size of 25 nm. As the suspension is filtered through
the ester membrane, the liquid is able to pass through the pores,
but the GO sheets become lodged. The permeation rate of the
solvent is controlled by the accumulation of the GO sheets on
the pores so as the number of GO layers increases at a given
location on the porous membrane, the rate of filtration decreases,
but does so to a lesser degree at thinner or uncovered regions.
The process is therefore self-regulating, which allows reasonably
good nanoscale control over the film thickness by simply varying
either the concentration of the GO in the suspension or the
filtration volume. The GO flakes on the filter membrane can then
be transferred by placing the membrane with the film side down
onto a substrate and dissolving the membrane with acetone,
leaving behind a uniform GO thin film (see Methods for details).
The yield of the transfer process is nearly 100%, independent of
the substrate, indicating that van der Waals interactions give rise
to sufficiently strong cohesive forces within the film and also
between the GO sheets and the substrate to obtain a well adhered
uniform film. Indeed, the as-deposited thin films of GO are able
to withstand typical lithographic processes (rinsing, blowing with
dry nitrogen and deposition of electrodes) without any evidence
of delamination. A GO thin film covering an area of 10 cm2 on
an ester membrane is shown in Fig. 1a, and transferred films on
glass and plastic substrates are shown in Fig. 1b,c, respectively.
The thicknesses obtained by atomic force microscope (AFM)
profilometry, ellipsometry and Raman spectroscopy were found
to be 1–2 nm for the films deposited at a filtration volume of
20 ml and 3–5 nm at 80 ml, suggesting that the thinnest films
consist of single layers of GO (ref. 23) (concentration ¼
0.33 mg l21; see Supplementary Information for experimental
details and AFM images). It should be noted that pure single-layer
graphene flake has a thickness of 0.34 nm, corresponding to the
interlayer spacing of graphite, but a GO sheet is 1 nm thick
due to the presence of functional groups, structural defects and
adsorbed water molecules25,30.
We also investigated the number of reduced GO layers using
Raman spectroscopy by monitoring the second-order zone
boundary phonons peak at 2,700 cm21, referred to as the G0 or
2D peak31 (see Methods). Raman spectra of reduced GO thin
regions are clearly less visible in the 20 ml film. Our thickness results
suggest that the thin films are uniformin that they contain 1–5 layers
of reduced GO. However, the slight variation in thicknesses in
Raman maps of both films point to the fact that a better control
of the size and shape of the suspended GO sheets will be essential
if films of exactly a single monolayer are to be deposited.
After deposition, the insulating GO must be reduced to
graphene through exposure to hydrazine vapour and/or
annealing in inert conditions19–21,23–25,30,32 to render the material
electrically conductive. We found that the hydrazine vapour alone
is not sufficient to achieve maximum reduction, and annealing
alone requires relatively high temperatures (.550 8C)22. Efficient
reduction of the GO thin films was therefore achieved through a
combination of hydrazine vapour exposure and low-temperature
annealing treatment (see Supplementary Information for X-ray
photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) results)30,32. The reduction
of GO yields thin films with properties resembling those of
graphene. More interestingly, by controlling the amount of
reduced GO on the surface, it is possible to tune the
optoelectronic properties of the thin films as summarized in
Fig. 3a,b. It can be seen from Fig. 3a that the sheet resistance of
the hydrazine-treated GO thin films is independent of the
filtration volume except at very high values (.300 ml). However,
annealing at 200 8C in nitrogen (or vacuum) leads to a dramatic
reduction in the sheet resistance (1  105 VA21). The lowest
sheet resistance value we obtained was 43 kV A21. The
saturation of sheet resistance in Fig. 3a above a critical filtration
volume is probably due to the fact that reduction is only effective
for the uppermost layers. The corresponding transmittances as a
function of the filtration volume at l ¼ 550 nm for the asdeposited
GO, chemically reduced GO and chemically reduced
and annealed GO are shown in Fig. 3b (see Supplementary
Information for transmission versus wavelength plots). It can be
seen that the chemically reduced and annealed GO leads to a
decrease in the transparency of thin films that is lower than that
for reduced and non-annealed GO, also consistent with the
increase in the Drude background obtained from spectroscopic
ellipsometry (see Supplementary Information).
In order to translate the opto-electronic properties into devices,
we fabricated thin-film transistors (TFTs) with reduced GO thin
films. Of the numerous (.100) TFT devices we tested, all
showed uniform transfer characteristics regardless of the channel
length (21 mm or 210 mm, SiO2 thickness ¼ 300 nm, channel
width ¼ 400 mm). The relatively long channel lengths ensured
that the transport was bulk limited and the role of contacts was
not substantial in our devices. The transfer characteristics as a
function of temperature for the 20 and 80 ml reduced GO thin
films are shown in Fig. 4a,b, respectively, together with a
photograph of the devices (Fig. 4c). The low-temperature
measurements exhibit ambipolar characteristics, comparable to
graphene. This is remarkable, because transport between the
source and drain electrodes in our large-scale devices occurs over
several graphene sheets. The p-type oxygen doping effect11, which
increases the current and shifts the threshold voltage to positive
voltages, is dramatically reduced for both the 20 ml and 80 ml
devices when measurements are performed in vacuum. The
primary differences between the two devices are that the current
in the 80 ml TFTs is higher and the 20 ml device exhibits a
sharper turn on behaviour, which is consistent with conduction
occurring primarily through one or two layers of graphene. In
addition, the ‘V’ shape of the ambipolar graphene transfer
characteristics is more pronounced for the low-temperature
measurements of the 20 ml TFTs, suggesting the semiconducting
nature of the material. The mobility of the devices in ambient
conditions calculated from the linear regime of the transfer
characteristics (see Methods and Supplementary Information)
was found to be 1 cm2 V21 s21 for holes and was lower at low
temperatures. The electron mobilities ( 0.2 cm2 V21 s21) were
generally lower than the hole mobilities at ambient conditions,
and the reverse was true in vacuum. The lower overall mobilities
in our devices compared to those achieved in individual reduced
GO flakes (2–200 cm2 V21 s21) could be attributed to scattering
at the junctions formed by overlapping flakes. The electron and
hole currents from TFTs and conductivity versus temperature for
the 20 ml thin films are shown in Fig. 4d,e, respectively. The
temperature dependence is unusual but consistent with the
anomalous behaviour found in exfoliated graphite33, in which
conduction is metallic-like below 50 K and then crosses over to
activated transport above this temperature.
A method is reported for uniform and controllable deposition
of 1–5 nm graphene thin films from solution at room temperature
on a variety of substrates, from the reduction of GO. The vacuum
filtration method allows the deposition of very thin films of 1–2
layers of reduced GO that are semiconducting, and thicker films
that are semi-metallic. We have demonstrated that the sheet
resistance of the thin films can be tuned over six orders of
magnitude and the transparencies from 60 to 95%. The deposition
of uniform thin films allows the simple fabrication of TFTs on
various substrates without the use of extensive lithography. Our
films typically show the presence of the usual D, G and 2D
peaks31 (see Supplementary Information). The prominent D peak
(absent in mechanically cleaved graphene) clearly indicates the
presence of structural imperfections induced by the attachment
of hyrodxyl and epoxide groups on the carbon basal plane. The
intensity of the 2D peak with respect to the D and G peaks is
small due to disorder, and thus requires care during acquisition
and analysis. Nevertheless, the shift in this peak can be used as a
simple non-destructive tool for analysing the number of layers in
graphene31. Careful analysis of the spectra allowed us to monitor
the 2D peak shifts and thus map the number of reduced GO
layers in the thin films. The Raman maps over 15 mm  12 mm
spatial regions for the 20 ml and 80 ml reduced GO thin films
are shown in Fig. 2a and b. The 2D peak shift between one and
more than five layers of graphene was found to be approximately
40 cm21 wavenumbers, as indicated by the actual measured
peaks shown in Fig. 2c.
The Raman maps are consistent with the AFM data in that the
percolating regions consist of 1–2 and 3–5 layers in both the 20
and 80 ml thin films. However, it can be seen from Fig. 2a that
1–2 layers are more predominant in the 20 ml film compared
to the 80 ml film, where 3–5 layers are more readily visible.
In addition, thicker regions (.5 layers) are also visible in the
Raman maps, which likely arise from incomplete exfoliation of
GO in suspension24. The optical images of the 20 ml and 80 ml
films are shown in Fig. 2d and e to indicate the degree of
overlapping (darker regions) among the GO layers. The darker
