▎ 摘　　要

Reduced graphene oxide (rGO) has attracted significant interest in an array of applications ranging from flexible optoelectronics, energy storage, sensing, and very recently as membranes for water purification. Many of these applications require a reproducible, scalable process for the growth of large-area films of high optical and electronic quality. In this work, we report a one-step scalable method for the growth of reduced-graphene-oxide-like (rGO-like) thin films via pulsed laser deposition (PLD) of sp(2) carbon in an oxidizing environment. By deploying an appropriate laser beam scanning technique, we are able to deposit wafer-scale uniform rGO-like thin films with ultrasmooth surfaces (roughness <1 nm). Further, in situ control of the growth environment during the PLD process allows us to tailor its hybrid sp(2)-sp(3) electronic structure. This enables us to control its intrinsic optoelectronic properties and helps us achieve some of the lowest extinction coefficients and refractive index values (0.358 and 1.715, respectively, at 2.236 eV) as compared to chemically grown rGO films. Additionally, the transparency and conductivity metrics of our PLD grown thin films are superior to other p-type rGO films and conducting oxides. Unlike chemical methods, our growth technique is devoid of catalysts and is carried out at lower process temperatures. This would enable the integration of these thin films with a wide range of material heterostructures via direct growth.
