4. Conclusions
- Graphene paper morphology shown in the image taken on the microscope with the use of a scanning electron microscope (SEM) revealed multi-layered petals of graphene arranged in parallel. Typical lines in Raman spectra, i.e., D, G, D’, D + G, 2D, proved the presence of graphene oxide in the graphene paper;
- Calculated and measured distributions of the laser beam fluence show a good compliance. The tests conducted on the graphene paper laser ablation process demonstrated that the energy of a laser pulse is a crucial parameter decisive for the result of the processing. The lower the pulse energy, the smaller the diameter of the produced holes and the better the quality of their edges. Increasing the pulse energy decreases the number of the shots required to produce the hole. However, it decreases the quality of the processing and, moreover, causes uncontrolled failure of the processed material due to thermal conductivity and shock wave effects;
- The results of the test performed also show that after producing the holes, increasing the number of pulses does not significantly affect their diameter any longer;
- The analyses conducted proved that in order to successfully produce a microsieve from graphene paper, 50 to 70 pulses for one hole must be applied at energy levels of 20 µJ or 30 to 50 pulses at energy levels of 50 µJ.
