This research aims to understand how surface modifications affect graphene growth on SiC fibers for improved mechanical reliability.
Conducted chemical vapor deposition experiments on pristine and pre-oxidized SiC fibers to compare graphene growth.
Performed first-principles calculations to analyze the interaction between different surfaces and carbon sources.
Pristine SiC promotes early nucleation and multi-point growth, resulting in an outward-propagating structure.
Pre-oxidized SiO2/SiC fibers favor smoother, conformal growth with a final morphology similar to layer-by-layer characteristics.
Graphene edges and steps act as nucleation sites, leading to multilayer growth in later stages.
