Graphene has been demonstrated as a good candidate for ultrafast optoelectronic devices. However, graphene is essentially transparent in the visible and near infrared with an absorptivity of 2.3%, which has largely limited its application in photon detection. This Letter demonstrates that the absorptance in a monatomic graphene layer can be greatly enhanced to nearly 70%, thanks to the localized strong electric field resulting from magnetic resonances in deep metal gratings. Furthermore, the resonance frequency is essentially not affected by the additional graphene layer. The method presented here may benefit the design of next-generation graphene-based optical and optoelectronic devices.

Binder-free layered graphene/polyaniline composite supercapacitor film was prepared by an environmentally friendly route. It exhibited 384 F g−1 at 0.5 A g−1 and 84% capacitance retention over 1000 cycles.

Adaptive infrared (IR) electrochromic devices driven by electrical energy have considerable potential use in intelligent IR thermal management application in the future.
