Abstract

The present disclosure relates to roll-to-roll doping method of graphene film, and doped graphene film.

Claims (23)

1. A roll-to-roll apparatus for doping a graphene film, comprising:

a first roller unit that forms a layered structure including a forming substrate, the graphene film and a first flexible substrate;

a second roller unit configured to immerse the layered structure from the first roller unit into an etching solution while passing the layered structure through the second roller unit to remove the forming substrate from the layered structure, and transfer the graphene film onto the first flexible substrate;

a third roller unit configured to remove the graphene film from the first flexible substrate while transferring the graphene film onto a second flexible substrate; and

a fourth roller unit configured to pass the graphene film through a dopant to dope the graphene film.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 ,

wherein the graphene film is doped with an organic dopant, an inorganic dopant or their combination.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 ,

wherein the dopant includes at least one selected from the group consisting of an ionic liquid, an ionic gas, an acidic compound, and an organic polymeric compound.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 ,

wherein the dopant includes at least one selected from the group consisting of NO 2 BF 4 , NOBF 4 , NO 2 SbF 6 , HCl, H 2 PO 4 , CH 3 COOH, H 2 SO 4 , HNO 3 , PVDF, Nafion, AuCl 3 , SOCl 2 , Br 2 , CH 3 NO 2 , dichlorodicyanoquinone, oxone, dimyristoylphosphatidylinositol, and trifluoromethanesulfonimide.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 ,

wherein the graphene film includes a monolayer graphene or a multilayer graphene.

6. The apparatus of claim 1 ,

wherein the graphene film has a roll shape, a foil shape, a tube shape, a plate shape, a sheet shape or a wire shape.

7. The apparatus of claim 1 ,

wherein the fourth roller unit is provided between the second roller unit and the third roller unit, and immerses the graphene film formed on the first flexible substrate through the dopant.

8. The apparatus of claim 1 ,

wherein the fourth roller unit is provided downstream of the third roller unit, and immerses the graphene film formed on the second flexible substrate through the dopant.

9. The apparatus of claim 1 ,

wherein the dopant is provided in a doping solution.

10. The apparatus of claim 1 ,

wherein the dopant is provided in dopant vapor.
