▎ 摘  要

Graphene is one of the materials with the most potential for post-silicon electronics because of its outstanding electrical, optical, and mechanical properties. However, the lack of a uniform stable doping method extremely limits the various possible applications of graphene. Here, we developed a uniform and stable graphene efficient p-doping method. Through etching a thin gold film on graphene with a KI/I-2 solution, iodine complexes are produced as the dopant absorbing on the graphene surface, and induce extra holes in graphene. Utilizing this method, the graphene film can be effectively doped to p-type without producing undesirable defects, and the roughness of the graphene surface can still be maintained at an ultra-low nanoscale (RMS roughness similar to 0.739 nm). The doping effectiveness can be clearly verified by the changes in the Raman spectrum, and the Dirac point shift of the graphene-based transistor, and the reduction of sheet resistance (similar to 27.2%). Furthermore, the substantially coincident transfer curves after 45 days reveal the long-term stable doping effects. Therefore, this doping method can exploit a way for various graphene-based applications, such as phototransistors, sensors, and organic thin-film transistors.
