Description
We conducted an experimental study of the effect of Au nanoparticles (NPs) on the strain-dependent electrical properties in chemical vapor deposition grown graphene. We used 5-nm thick Au NPs as an effective cover (and doping) layer for graphene, and found that Au NPs decrease electrical resistance by two orders of magnitude. In addition, the Au NPs suppress the effect of strain on resistance because the intrinsic topological cracks and grain boundaries in graphene are filled with Au nanoparticles. This method has a big potential to advance industrial production of large-area, high-quality electronic devices and graphene-based transparent electrodes.
