Abstract We present an electron beam (E-beam) pre-treatment technique as a mean to crosslink polyethylene (PE) thin film for fabricating carbon nanosheets (CNSs) with improved transparency. In a previous study, we demonstrated successful conversion of innately non-carbonizable PE into transparent CNSs through thermal oxidative stabilization. Unlike other studies about CNSs fabrication using pricey precursors, PE has strong merits because it is the cheapest and the most abundantly used plastic. However, transparency and uniformity of CNSs from PE were not desirable as transparent electrode. Here, by adopting E-beam irradiation as a pre-treatment process before thermal stabilization, we could enhance the transparency and electrical property of PE derived CNSs so that they can be effectively utilized as transparent conducting electrode.

使用电子束预处理的聚乙烯透明碳纳米片

摘要 我们提出了一种电子束 (E-beam) 预处理技术，作为交联聚乙烯 (PE) 薄膜的一种手段，用于制造具有更高透明度的碳纳米片 (CNS)。在之前的一项研究中，我们证明了通过热氧化稳定将先天不可碳化的 PE 成功转化为透明的 CNS。与使用昂贵前体制造 CNS 的其他研究不同，PE 具有很强的优点，因为它是最便宜且使用最广泛的塑料。然而，PE 制成的 CNS 的透明度和均匀性作为透明电极并不理想。在这里，通过采用电子束辐照作为热稳定前的预处理过程，我们可以提高 PE 衍生的 CNS 的透明度和电学性能，使其可以有效地用作透明导电电极。
