Development of novel carbon thin film electrodes for electrochemical analysis of trace heavy metals in aqueous solutions by Wang, Zhaomeng

“…In this work, few-layer graphene ultrathin films were synthesized via a novel solid-state carbon diffusion method by rapid thermal processing (RTP) of nickel/amorphous carbon (Ni/a-C) bilayers or Ni-C mixed layers, which were all sputtering-coated on silicon (Si) substrates with or without a silicon dioxide (SiO2) layer. For the Ni/a-C bilayer coated samples, the samples were heated at 1000 °C for 3 min to allow the C atoms from the a-C layers to diffuse into the top Ni layers to form C rich surface layers. …”
