Method for continuous coating of metal foils and wires by high-quality graphene

Abstract:

A continuous method for preparing a metal substrate having a graphene-comprising coating, the method including providing a metal substrate, continuously advancing the metal substrate into and through a processing chamber, the processing chamber having one or more heating elements, providing electromagnetic radiation to the metal substrate via the one or more heating elements to heat the metal substrate, wherein heating the metal substrates forms a molten metal layer on a top surface of the metal substrate, contacting the molten metal layer with a carbon source gas to form a graphene-comprising coating substantially covering the molten metal layer of the top surface of the metal substrate, solidifying the molten metal layer, and advancing the metal substrate having the graphene-comprising coating out of the processing chamber.
