| Abstract | Improving the adhesion property of graphene directly grown on an insulating substrate is essential for promoting the reliability and durability of the related applications. However, effective approaches have rarely been reported, especially for vertically oriented graphene (VG) films grown on insulating templates. To tackle this, we have developed a facile synthetic strategy by introducing an ultrathin (10 nm-thick) titanium (Ti) film on a quartz glass substrate as the adhesion layer, for plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) growth of VG films This synthetic process induces the formation of Ti, oxygen (O), carbon (C)-containing adhesion layer (Ti (O, C)), offering improved interfacial adhesion due to the formation of chemical bonds among Ti and C atoms. Dramatically improved surface and interface stabilities have been achieved, with regard to its counterpart without a Ti adhesion layer. Moreover, we have also realized precise controls of the transparent/conductive property, surface roughness, and hydrophobicity, etc., by varying the VG film growth time. We have also demonstrated the very intriguing application potentials of the hybrids in light-dimming related fields, that is, electro-heating defogging lenses and neutral density filters toward medical endoscope defogging and camera photography. |
