Graphene with an atomically thin structure is considered to be a highly sensitive transducer capable of converting diverse external stimuli into measurable electrical signals. The generated signals, such as current and resistance, can be extracted through electrical contact to graphene. Conventional methods for contact formation are usually based on physical deposition of conductive materials on the target graphene. Here, we propose a method for in situ chemical synthesis of electrical contacts to graphene as an alternative approach that complements conventional physical methods. CO 2 laser irradiation on a polyimide film with monolayer graphene on top can convert the polyimide surface to conductive electrodes of laser-induced graphene (LIG) that electrically connect to the existing graphene channel. Laser-scribing conditions, such as the power and scan rate, can modulate the contact resistance of the LIG−graphene junction. Various arbitrary shapes of in situ LIG contacts can be scribed to the direct writing ability of the laser. The proposed in situ LIG contact method can be extended to other carbon nanomaterials, such as carbon nanotubes and PEDOT:PSS. As a proof of concept of the in situ LIG contacts to graphene for electronic device applications, graphene field-effect transistors were demonstrated on a graphene-supported polyimide substrate with LIG−graphene junctions as source/drain electrodes. Our approach will pave the way for the simple and low-cost fabrication of versatile graphene electronic devices by utilizing the existing LIG technology specialized for energy devices and sensors.

“…Combined with Figure 9 , it can be found that the in situ deposited CNTs filled the pores well at all porosities, while C-CBPs had a better filling effect for large pores above 150 nm but almost no filling effect at all for pores between 50 and 100 nm. This may be because, compared with I-CBPs, the CNTs inside C-CBPs may be due to agglomeration, which makes it difficult to fill the surface of EG particles and the tiny pores between EG, FG and resin, but a small number of MWCNTs were still dispersed during the preparation process, so they can play a similar filling role as I-CBPs for the pores between 0~50 nm [ 58 , 59 , 60 ]. Therefore, the pores between 0~50 nm can be filled similarly to I-CBPs, although the effect is not as good as that of I-CBPs.…”

Composite bipolar plates with excellent performance play a crucial role in improving the overall performance of proton-exchange-membrane fuel cells. However, for graphite/resin composite bipolar plates, their electrical conductivity and mechanical properties are often too complex to meet the needs of users at the same time. Although nanoconductive fillers can alleviate this problem, the performance improvement for composite bipolar plates is often limited due to problems such as agglomeration. In this study, a uniformly dispersed multi-walled carbon nanotube network was prepared by in situ vapor deposition on the surface and pores of expanded graphite, which effectively avoided the problem of agglomeration and effectively improved the various properties of the composite BPs through the synergistic effect with graphite. With the addition of 2% in situ deposited carbon nanotubes, the modified composite bipolar plate has the best conductivity (334.53 S/cm) and flexural strength (50.24 MPa), and all the properties can meet the DOE requirements in 2025. Using the in situ deposition of carbon nanotubes to modify composite bipolar plates is a feasible route because it can result in multi-walled carbon nanotubes in large quantities and avoid the agglomeration phenomenon caused by adding nanofillers. It can also significantly improve the performance of composite bipolar plates, achieving the high performance of composite bipolar plates at a lower cost.

Laser irradiation of polymeric materials has drawn great attention as a fast, simple, and cost-effective method for the formation of porous graphene films that can be subsequently fabricated into low-cost and flexible electronic and energy-storage devices. In this work, we report a systematic study of the formation of laser-induced graphene (LIG) with sheet resistances as low as 9.4 Ω/sq on parylene-C ultrathin membranes under a CO2 infrared laser. Raman analysis proved the formation of the multilayered graphenic material, with I D/I G and I 2D/I G peak ratios of 0.42 and 0.65, respectively. As a proof of concept, parylene-C LIG was used as the electrode material for the fabrication of ultrathin, solid-state microsupercapacitors (MSCs) via a one-step, scalable, and cost-effective approach, aiming at future flexible and wearable applications. The produced LIG-MSC on parylene-C exhibited good electrochemical behavior, with a specific capacitance of 1.66 mF/cm2 and an excellent cycling stability of 96% after 10 000 cycles (0.5 mA/cm2). This work allows one to further extend the knowledge in LIG processes, widening the group of precursor materials as well as promoting future applications. Furthermore, it reinforces the potential of parylene-C as a key material for next-generation biocompatible and flexible electronic devices.
