Copper powder has broad applications in the powder metallurgy, heat exchanger, and electronic industries due to its intrinsically high electrical and thermal conductivities. However, the ease of formation of surface oxide or patina layer raises difficulty of storage and handling of copper powder, particularly in the case of Cu microparticles. Here, we developed a thermal chemical vapor deposition chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process for large-scale synthesis of graphene coatings on Cu microparticles, which importantly can remain monodisperse without aggregation after graphene growth at high temperature by using removal spacers. Compared to other protective coating methods, the intrinsic electrical and thermal properties of Cu powder would not be degraded by uniform growth of low defect few-layer graphene on each particle surface. As a result, when the anticorrosion performance test was carried out by immersing the samples in Cu etchant, the corrosion rate of graphene/Cu microparticles was significantly improved (ca three times slower) compared to that of pristine Cu powder, also showing a comparable anticorrosion ability to commercial CuZn30 alloy.

Due to their unique one-dimensional nanostructure along with excellent mechanical, electrical, and optical properties, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) become a promising material for diverse nanotechnology applications. However, large-scale and structure controlled synthesis of CNTs still have many difficulties due to the lack of understanding of the fundamental growth mechanism of CNTs, as well as the difficulty of controlling atomic-scale physical and chemical reactions during the nanotube growth process. Especially, controlling the number of graphene wall, diameter, and chirality of CNTs are the most important issues that need to be solved to harness the full potential of CNTs. Here we report the large-scale selective synthesis of vertically aligned single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) and double walled carbon nanotubes (DWNTs) by controlling the size of catalyst nanoparticles in the highly effective oxygen assisted thermal chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process. We also demonstrate a simple but powerful strategy for synthesizing ultrahigh density and diameter selected vertically aligned SWNTs through the precise control of carbon flow during a thermal CVD process.

ABSTRACTTwo-dimensional layered materials, materials with weak out-of-plane van der Waals bonding and strong in-plane covalent bonding, have attracted special attention in recent years since the isolation and characterization of monolayer graphite, the graphene. The electrical bandgap in Transition Metal Di-Chalcogenides (TMDCs), non-existent in graphene, make them a good alternative family of materials for novel electronic and optoelectronic applications. 2H- MoS2, one of the most stable TMDCs, has been extensively studied, including the synthesis methods, and its potential applications in photodetection. The chemical vapor deposition (CVD) synthesis method has increased its potential over the years. The advantages of this method are scalability compared to micromechanical exfoliation, common process used in research laboratories, and the maintenance of the quality and intrinsic properties of the material compared to the liquid exfoliation methods. In this work, we synthesized high quality pristine 2H-MoS2 via atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition (APCVD) by vapor phase reaction of MoO3 and S powder precursors. The samples were characterized via Raman and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy and compared to mechanically exfoliated MoS2 crystal by measuring the full-width half maxima (FWHM) of monolayer and few-layer mesoscopic flakes. In addition, the CVD synthesized single and few-layered MoS2 domains were transferred to different substrates using a high yield process, including a flexible substrate, preserving the quality of the material. Finally, and mechanically exfoliated MoS2 two-terminal photodetector was designed, fabricated, and measured. Demonstrating thus the capability of heterostructure fabrication and the quality of our synthesis and device fabrication process.
