Graphene is a promising material for flexible heaters due to its high thermal conductivity. Laser-induced graphene (LIG), fabricated by laser ablation of polymeric substrates, is a cost-effective and chemical-free method. This study demonstrates the fabrication of patterned LIG-based flexible heaters and their excellent response to RF electromagnetic waves.
Graphene is an excellent choice for heating applications due to its high thermal conductivity and is considered an interesting candidate for application in flexible heaters. The major challenge, though, is the costly and chemical-intensive pathways to produce graphene on a large scale. Laser ablation of polymeric substrates is a relatively recent technique for a facile, single-step, chemical-free fabrication of graphene, referred to as laser-induced graphene (LIG). This work demonstrates the fabrication of patterned LIG-based flexible heaters and their response to radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic waves. Polymeric substrates were scribed with laser patterns in both raster and vector modes and subjected to RF electromagnetic fields to test their heating response. We confirmed different graphene morphologies of the lased patterns through various materials characterization methods. The maximum steady-state temperature observed for the LIG heater was approximately 500 degrees C. Unprecedented heating rates, as high as 502 degrees C/s, were observed when LIG heaters were exposed to RF fields at 200 MHz frequency and 4.6 W power. Mechanical and thermal stability tests for the best heater were also performed showing a stable thermal response for 1000 bending cycles and 20 cycles of the heating test for 8.5 h, respectively. Our work suggests that LIG heaters produced in vector mode lasing outperformed those lased in raster mode which can be attributed to the improved graphene quality for RF absorbance.
