One-Step Fabrication of Composite Hydrophobic Electrically Heated Graphene Surface
Abstract
:1. Introduction
- A one-step synthesis method was proposed for the fabrication of composite graphene surfaces with hydrophobicity and electric heating functionality using laser-induced technology. This approach simplifies the traditional multi-step fabrication process and enhances efficiency;
- By precisely controlling laser power parameters, the microstructure design of the graphene surface has been successfully achieved, thereby imparting not only hydrophobicity but also efficient electric heating performance to the surface;
- A systematic investigation was conducted to examine the impact of laser power on the quality and surface microstructure of graphene, revealing that optimal hydrophobicity can be achieved while ensuring high-quality graphene production by controlling the laser power at 5 W.
