METHOD OF FORMING GRAPHENE FILMS

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18702777 titled 'METHOD OF FORMING GRAPHENE FILMS

Original Abstract Submitted

Methods for formation of graphene films, graphene films made thereby, and applications thereof. A method for the formation of a graphene film includes coating a polymeric graphene precursor on a substrate. The method includes irradiating the polymeric graphene precursor coated on the substrate with a pulsed high intensity light source emitting at more than a single wavelength and with a pulse duration of less than one second, to convert the polymeric graphene precursor to the graphene film.
