Evaporable Glass-State Molecule-Assisted Transfer of Clean and Intact Graphene onto Arbitrary Substrates

Graphene and its clean transfer methods have gathered growing interest and concern in recent decades. Here, we develop a novel large-scale intact transferring technology of paraffin wax onto arbitrary substrates. The wax will then be removed by thermal evaporation, avoiding uncontrollable reactions and leaving no residues. For characterizations, we adopt Raman, FT-IR, XPS, and DRS to measure the optical reflection difference on various surfaces and the thickness of graphene accurately. All the results demonstrate transferred surfaces’ cleanliness and our method’s validity. This technique allows for an effective transfer of graphene and enables a wider range of applications in many fields
