▎ 摘  要

Measuring the microscopic temperature of graphene is challenging. We used cholesteric liquid crystal microcapsules (CLCMs) as temperature sensors to detect the local temperature of three-dimensional porous graphene through quantitative visualization. Based on a CLCM (similar to 20 mu m in size), we determined the temperature variation in a small area with an accuracy of 0.1 degrees C. By analyzing the color changes between two CLCMs, we demonstrated the temperature changes dynamically in a region with a diameter of approximately 110 mu m. Furthermore, by comparing the color evolution among the three CLCMs, we visualized the anisotropic thermal properties in the micro-zone. This convenient and low-cost temperature measurement method is expected to further improve graphene-based devices.
