▎ 摘  要

This work uncovers that free-standing partly reduced graphene aerogel (PRGA) films in vacuum exhibit extraordinarily bolometric responses. This high performance is mainly attributed to four structure characteristics: extremely low thermal conductivity (6.0-0.6 mW-m(-1).K-1 from 295 to 10 K), high porosity, ultralow density (4 mg.cm(-3)), and abundant functional groups (resulting in tunable band gap). Under infrared radiation (peaked at 5.8-9.7 pm), the PRGA film can detect a temperature change of 0.2, 1.0, and 3.0 K of a target at 3, 25, and 54 cm distance. Even through a quartz window (transmissivity of similar to 0.98 in the range of 2-4 mu m), it can still successfully detect a temperature change of 0.6 and 5.8 K of a target at 3 and 28 cm distance. At room temperature, a laser power as low as 7.5 pW from a 405 nm laser and 5.9 pW from a 1550 nm laser can be detected. The detecting sensitivity to the 1550 nm laser is further increased by 3-fold when the sensor temperature was reduced from 295 K to 12 K. PRGA films are demonstrated to be a promising ultrasensitive bolometric detector, especially at low temperatures.
