新型散熱石墨膜完美解決手機發(fā)熱問題
隨著科技不斷進步,智能手機的功能越來越強大,但也同樣帶來了一些其他問題,比如發(fā)熱。但對于手機設(shè)計師和工程師來說,解決發(fā)熱問題的同時還要兼顧空間問題。來自阿卜杜拉國王科技大學(xué)的一項新研究開發(fā)了一種全新的散熱石墨膜,不僅能夠完美解決手機發(fā)熱的問題,占用的空間也十分有限。
據(jù)悉,石墨膜具有優(yōu)異的導(dǎo)熱性能,為電子產(chǎn)品的薄型化發(fā)展提供了可能,是電子設(shè)備散熱的理想材料。但是其制作成本相對較高,需要在高達(dá)3200℃的高溫下加工,成品厚度也有幾微米。 阿卜杜拉國王科技大學(xué)研究人員表示,使用聚合物作為源材料來制作這些石墨膜的方法非常復(fù)雜,而且非常耗費能源。因此,他們開發(fā)了一種更廉價和有效的散熱石墨膜。 科學(xué)家通過使用鎳箔作為催化劑,將熱甲烷氣體轉(zhuǎn)化為石墨。而這一過程僅需在900℃的溫度下完成,并且在鎳箔表面形成的石墨膜只有100納米厚。 研究人員稱這種新材料為為納米厚石墨膜(NGFs),比目前使用的微米厚的石墨膜要薄得多。此外,納米厚石墨膜還帶來了前所未有的靈活性和堅固性,并且生產(chǎn)成本也大大降低。 值得一提的是,納米厚石墨膜還具有導(dǎo)電性,因此還能夠用于太陽能電池的組件,或用于探測二氧化氮氣體的傳感器。 |

King Abdullah University of Science & Technology (KAUST)
The powerful electronics packed inside the latest smartphones can be a significant challenge to keep cool. KAUST researchers have developed a fast and efficient way to make a carbon material that could be ideally suited to dissipating heat in electronic devices. This versatile material could also have additional uses ranging from gas sensors to solar cells.
Many electronic devices use graphite films to draw away and dissipate the heat generated by their electronic components. Although graphite is a naturally occurring form of carbon, heat management of electronics is a demanding application and usually relies on use of high-quality micrometer-thick manufactured graphite films. "However, the method used to make these graphite films, using polymer as a source material, is complex and very energy intensive," says G. Deokar, a postdoc in Pedro Costa's lab, who led the work. The films are made in a multistep process that requires temperatures of up to 3200 degrees Celsius and which cannot produce films any thinner than a few micrometers.
Deokar, Costa and their colleagues have developed a quick, energy-efficient way to make graphite sheets that are approximately 100 nanometers thick. The team grew nanometer-thick graphite films (NGF) on nickel foils using a technique called chemical vapor deposition (CVD) in which the nickel catalytically converts hot methane gas into graphite on its surface. "We achieved NGFs with a CVD growth step of just five minutes at a reaction temperature of 900 degrees Celsius," Deokar says.
The NGFs, which could be grown in sheets of up to 55 square centimeters, grew on both sides of the foil. It could be extracted and transferred to other surfaces without the need of a polymer supporting layer, which is a common requirement when handling single-layer graphene films.
Working with electron microscopy specialist Alessandro Genovese, the team captured cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images of the NGF on nickel. "Observing the interface of the graphite films to the nickel foil was an unprecedented achievement that will shed additional light on the growth mechanisms of these films," Costa says.
In terms of thickness, NGF sits between commercially available micrometer-thick graphite films and single-layer graphene. "NGFs complement graphene and industrial graphite sheets, adding to the toolbox of layered carbon films," Costa says. Due to its flexibility, for example, NGF could lend itself to heat management in flexible phones now starting to appear on the market. "NGF integration would be cheaper and more robust than what could be obtained with a graphene film," he adds.
However, NGFs could find many applications in addition to heat dissipation. One intriguing feature, highlighted in the TEM images, was that some sections of the NGF were just a few carbon sheets thick. "Remarkably, the presence of the few-layer graphene domains resulted in a reasonable degree of visible light transparency of the overall film," Deokar says. The team proposed that conducting, semitransparent NGFs could be used as a component of solar cells, or as a sensor material for detecting NO2 gas. "We plan to integrate NGFs in devices where they would act as a multifunctional active material," Costa says.
