Description
Summary:Heteroatom doping can open the bandgap and increase the carrier density, thus extending the applications of graphene. Iron chloride (FeC13) intercalation has proven to be an efficient method for the heavy doping of graphene. In this study, we prepared continuous chemical vapor deposited graphene (CVD-G) consisting of hexagonal adlayer domains to study the FeC13 intercalation. The structure of the FeC13-treated CVD-G was easily characterized via atomic force microscopy because of the change in the interlayer distance. FeC13 crystals several nanometers thick were integrated with the graphene surface, and FeC13 layer flakes were intercalated between the CVD-G adlayers. The G-band position and two-dimensional band shape in the Raman spectra confirmed the intercalation of the FeC13 between the graphene layers. The FeCI~ intercalation increased the electrical conductivity of the CVD-G with a well-maintained transmittance, which could be beneficial for a sensitive photodetector.
