Small temperature coefficient of resistivity of graphene/graphene oxide hybrid membranes

Materials with low temperature coefficient of resistivity (TCR) are of great importance in some areas, for example, highly accurate electronic measurement instruments and microelectronic integrated circuits. In this work, we demonstrated the ultrathin graphene-graphene oxide (GO) hybrid films prepared by layer-by-layer assembly with very small TCR (30-100 °C) in the air. Electrical response of the hybrid films to temperature variation was investigated along with the progressive reduction of GO sheets. The mechanism of electrical response to temperature variation of the hybrid film was discussed, which revealed that the interaction between graphene and GO and the chemical doping effect were responsible for the tunable control of its electrical response to temperature variation. The unique properties of graphene-GO hybrid film made it a promising candidate in many areas, such as high-end film electronic device and sensor applications.
