Abstract

In recent years, exceptional physical and chemical properties of graphene have been demonstrated and widely acknowledged. Graphene films synthesized by Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) with different configurations (monolayer, bilayer, multilayer, etc.) and grain sizes (up to cm size) were developed to offer a wide range of electrical and chemical properties facilitating their application in several fields. This led to numerous investigations on the potential use of CVD

Abstract

Graphene, a 2D sp²-hybridized carbon sheet with one-atom thickness, has attracted increasing attention in recent years because of its unique structure and special properties. Recently several research publications have described the synthesis of 3D CVD graphene continuous networks^1,2 grown on Ni foam substrates and their utilization for various novel products and application developments such as high sensitive gas sensor³, electrode or electrode additive for solar cells⁴ and ultra capacitors.⁵

Abstract

Continuous interest in Graphene materials has been recently reinforced with the awarding of the Nobel Prize in Physics, 2010. Graphene materials are considered for use in a wide variety of practical applications including electronics, solar cells, MEMS and NEMS, as well as chemical and biological sensors. Our joined team has successfully grown graphene films on Ni and Cu using Chemical Vapor

Abstract

Zinc oxide is a wide band gap material with excellent semiconducting, photonic and piezoelectric properties. In the past ten years zinc oxide nano-structures such as nanowires and nano-rods have received great interest due to their unique dimensional and material properties in the area of photonics, electronics, mechanics, energy recovery, etc. In this poster we report the manufacturing process of a new shape, i.e. hollow hexagonal ZnO nano-cones. We grew them on different kinds of substrate using a low pressure,
