▎ 摘  要

Direct growth of vertically oriented graphene (VG) nanowalls on soda-lime glass has practical significance in extending the application of graphene to daily-life-related areas, such as gas sensors and conductive electrodes, via combining their complementary properties and applications. However, VG films derived by low-temperature deposition (e.g., on glass) usually present relatively low conductivity and optical transparency. To tackle this issue, an ethanol-precursor-based, radio-frequency plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (rf-PECVD) route for the synthesis of VG nanowalls is developed in this research, at around the softening temperature of soda-lime glass (similar to 600 degrees C) templates. The average sheet resistance, i.e., similar to 2.4 k Omega.sq(-1) (at transmittance similar to 81.6%), is only one-half of that achieved by a traditional methane-precursor-based PECVD route. Based on the highly conductive and optically transparent VG/glass, as well as its scalable size up to 25 in. scale, high-performance reversible thermochromic devices were successfully constructed using VG/glass as transparent heaters. Hereby, this work should propel the scalable synthesis and applications of highly conductive VG films on glass in next-generation transparent electronics and switchable windows.
