PREPARATION OF GRAPHENE MICROTUBES

摘要

PURPOSE: A method for manufacturing a graphine macro-tube is provided to implement a mass-production by simplifying manufacturing processes. CONSTITUTION: Carbon is deposited on the surface of metal wires. The metal wires with the deposited carbon are etched to form a graphine micro-tube. The outer diameter of a metal wire is between 1 and 200um. The metal is transition metal and is selected from copper, gold, silver, palladium, and platinum. The inner diameter and the length of the micro-tube is controlled by the outer diameter and the length of the metal wire.
