Recent research in organic electronics has focused on developing next-generation practical soft devices that use graphene materials. However, currently-available graphene materials are too fragile to meet industrial requirements for mass production, but also for use of electrodes in soft organic devices. Therefore, a main challenge in this field is to increase the strength and chemical stability of such material without degrading its electronic properties. Here I will present my recent study about nanoscale organic to strengthen monolayer graphene sheets. I found that alkylsilane molecules can self-assemble on flaws in the surface of graphene and form nanometer-thick patches on them. This process improves graphene’s mechanical durability while preserving its other attractive characteristics. The nano-patched graphene was exploited to demonstrate soft electronic skin sensors and organic field-effect transistors that have superior electrical properties. |
