▎ 摘　　要

The thermal conductivity of polycrystalline graphene is expected to be lower than that of pristine graphene, due to the existence of defects, such as grain boundaries (GBs). To study the thermal transport behavior in polycrystalline graphene, it is crucial to understand the thermal conductivity of graphene GBs as a function of the tilt GB misorientation angle and in-plane thermal loading angle. However, existing studies of thermal conductivity of graphene GBs only consider the case where the thermal flux is perpendicular or parallel to the graphene GB. To address this issue, here we perform systematic non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations and investigate the thermal conductivity of graphene GBs for all possible tilt GB misorientation angles (23 cases) under arbitrary in-plane thermal loading directions. The findings from the present study can offer quantitative guidance for using polycrystalline graphene in thermal devices and flexible electronics applications.
