▎ 摘  要

Benefiting from the high conductivity and superb flexibility, graphene-based materials are promising to replace metal for near-field communication (NFC) applications. Herein, we report a flexible NFC tag antenna based on high-conductivity graphene-assembled films (HCGAFs) and investigate how the performance of the antenna is affected by antenna design and human body effect. The fabricated prototype via a one-step laser-direct mold engraving method shows a 10 dB bandwidth of 2.5 MHz centering at 13.70 MHz with a quality factor (Q) of 9.19. The maximum read range of the HCGAF NFC tag is measured to be around 7.5 cm, comparable to the commercially available metal NFC tags. Moreover, the flexible nature of HCGAFs guarantees excellent mechanical stability and deformation insensitivity, especially when compared to commercial metal-based counterparts. We further demonstrate the practical applications of the HCGAF tag as key card and electronic business card in the vicinity of human body.
