초록

금속산화물/그래핀 복합체는 고감도 가스센서 및 고용량의 이차전지와 같은 첨단 응용 분야에 활용될 수 있는 유망한 기능성 소재로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 이산화주석($SnO_2$) 나노구조물을 두 영역 전기로 장치를 이용하여 화학적으로 합성된 그래핀 나노시트 위에 성장시켰다. 대면적의 그래핀 나노시트는 Cu foil 위에 열화학기상증착 장비를 이용하여 메탄가스와 수소가스로 합성하였다. 화학적으로 합성된 그래핀 나노시트는 PMMA를 이용하여 세척된 Si 기판위에 전사시켰고, $SnO_2$ 나노구조물은 그래핀 나노시트 위에 $424^{\circ}C$, 3.1 Torr 조건에서 3시간동안 성장시켰다. 합성된 그래핀의 품질과 성장된 $SnO_2$ 나노구조물의 결정학적 특성을 Raman 분광학으로 확인하였다. 그래핀 위에서 성장된 $SnO_2$ 나노구조물의 표면형상은 전계방출 주사전자현미경으로 조사하였다. 그 결과 합성된 그래핀 나노시트는 이중층 그래핀이었고, 그래핀 위에서 성장된 산화주석은 $SnO_2$ 상을 가지고 있었다. 그래핀 위에서 성장된 $SnO_2$ 나노구조물은 복잡한 표면형상을 나타내었는데, 이것은 Si 기판 위에서 성장된 $SnO_2$ 나노구조물이 nano-dots 형태인 것과 비교된다. 그래핀 위에서 성장된 $SnO_2$ 나노구조물이 복잡한 형상을 갖는 것은 그래핀 표면의 기능기의 영향인 것으로 판단된다.

Metal oxide/graphene composites have been known as promising functional materials for advanced applications such as high sensitivity gas sensor, and high capacitive secondary battery. In this study, tin dioxide ($SnO_2$) nanostructures were grown on chemically synthesized graphene nanosheets using a two-zone horizontal furnace system. The large area graphene nanosheets were synthesized on Cu foil by thermal chemical vapor deposition system with the methane and hydrogen gas. Chemically synthesized graphene nanosheets were transferred on cleaned $SiO_2$(300 nm)/Si substrate using the PMMA. The $SnO_2$ nanostuctures were grown on graphene nanosheets at $424^{\circ}C$ under 3.1 Torr for 3 hours. Raman spectroscopy was used to estimate the quality of as-synthesized graphene nanosheets and to confirm the phase of as-grown $SnO_2$ nanostructures. The surface morphology of as-grown $SnO_2$ nanostructures on graphene nanosheets was characterized by field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). As the results, the synthesized graphene nanosheets are bi-layers graphene nanosheets, and as-grown tin oxide nanostructures exhibit tin dioxide phase. The morphology of $SnO_2$ nanostructures on graphene nanosheets exhibits complex nanostructures, whereas the surface morphology of $SnO_2$ nanostructures on $SiO_2$(300 nm)/Si substrate exhibits simply nano-dots. The complex nanostructures of $SnO_2$ on graphene nanosheets are attributed to functional groups on graphene surface.
