▎ 摘　　要

NOVELTY - Method for converting carbon nanotubes into graphene sheets involves etching using hydrogen plasma at 32-200degrees Fahrenheit and at least one of glow discharge, diode, reactive ion etch, or electron-cyclonic resonance, latent defects in carbon nanotubes to split carbon nanotubes in a longitudinal direction. USE - Method for converting carbon nanotubes into graphene sheets. ADVANTAGE - The method provides the graphene sheets with high porosity. DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for method for fabricating graphene sheets from single wall carbon nanotubes, which involves: (a) suspending single wall carbon nanotubes in an aqueous or organic solvent solution; and (b) etching. DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The drawing shows a schematic view of a microbolometer detecting element with a graphene sensing element fabricated on a generic complementary metal oxide semiconductor wafer process.
