Abstract:
The growth of a specific crystal plane of a polycrystalline metal is induced or suppressed by forming a carbon material on the surface of the polycrystalline metal, and accordingly, the ratio of the crystal plane may be controlled, particularly, the crystal plane may be controlled so as for the polycrystalline metal to be similar to a single crystalline metal. Accordingly, a metal-carbon material composite where a crystal plane is controlled may be mass-produced at low costs through a continuous process.
Abstract:
Prepared is a halogenated carbon material, which reduces a carbon material having an oxygen-based functional group by introducing a halogen gas or a mixed gas of a halogen gas and an inert gas into the carbon material having an oxygen-based functional group, and dopes a halogen into the carbon material. The resulting halogenated carbon material includes one or more selected from a group consisting of C—Y2 and C—Y3, and may be suitably for an energy device such as a fuel cell, a lithium ion battery, and a solar cell.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a polymer-based large-area carbon nanomesh and a method for preparing the same. More particularly, the present disclosure provides a method for preparing a carbon nanomesh such as graphene nanomesh, including: preparing a polymer nanofilm by coating a solution of a block copolymer or a polymer mixture thereof on a substrate; stabilizing the polymer nanofilm by annealing such that the polymer nanofilm is phase-separated, a hole-forming polymer is removed and, at the same time, a nanomesh-forming polymer is cyclized and forms a stabilized polymer nanomesh; and carbonizing the stabilized polymer nanomesh by annealing at high temperature to prepare a carbon nanomesh. Using the phase separation and cyclization, a large-area carbon nanomesh with superior activity can be prepared simply with high reproducibility in large scale.

Abstract:
Provided is a method for preparing a carbon material based on an organic nanofilm using thermal evaporation, including: depositing a liquid polymer or polymer solution containing a polymer and a solvent onto a substrate, thereby forming an organic nanofilm; stabilizing the organic nanofilm so that the carbon atoms in the organic nanofilm have a cyclic arrangement; and carbonizing the stabilized organic nanofilm, thereby forming a carbon material, wherein the organic nanofilm is formed from the liquid polymer or polymer solution through a thermal evaporation process. The method provides a carbon material with a thickness, sheet resistance and surface roughness suitable for various applications and allows control thereof. In addition, the method uses a relatively inexpensive starting material, pitch, thereby reducing the overall production cost, and avoids a need for a complicated additional patterning operation, so that the carbon material is applied directly to electronic devices.
