Abstract
OpenAlex · English
TEM setup, using Mo as a catalyst. The catalytic role of Mo during graphene formation has been less explored compared to other metals like Cu or Ni. Compared to metals like Cu, Mo is less subject to electromigration and brittleness, making it suitable for high-temperature electronics. We found that during the electromigration of Mo, amorphous carbon nanofibers (CNFs) can be converted to highly crystalline few-layered graphene. It was also found that during the graphene formation process, agglomerated Mo particles can be effectively channeled to the end of graphene by voltage-driven electromigration. An agglomerated Mo particle between the probe and graphene acted as a soldering agent, providing the prospect of the further exploration of Mo as a nanoscale soldering material. This work explores the double role of Mo: as a catalyst for graphene synthesis and as a soldering material.
