▎ 摘  要

Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) has become an important method for growing graphene on copper substrates in order to obtain graphene samples of high quality and density. This paper mainly focuses on the fluid flow and transmission phenomenon in the reactor under different process operating conditions and reactor structures. Two macroscopic physical parameters that are established as important for CVD growth are temperature and pressure. Based on the special structure of a miniature T45-R Tesla valve acting as a CVD reactor structure, this study uses numerical simulation to determine the effect of the pressure field inside a Tesla valve on graphene synthesis and temperature variation on the graphene surface deposition rate. This macroscopic numerical modeling was compared to the existing straight tube model and found to improve the graphene surface deposition rate by two orders of magnitude when the 1290-1310 K reaction temperature range inside the Tesla valve was maintained and verified through the experiment. This study provides a reference basis for optimizing the reactor geometry design and the effects of changing the operating parameters on carbon deposition rates during a CVD reaction, and will furthermore benefit future research on the preparation of high-quality, large-area, and high-density graphene by CVD.
