Graphene sheets displaying partial crystallinity and nanowire structures were formed on a silicon substrate with silicon nanowires by utilizing an amorphous carbon source. The carbon source was deposited onto the silicon nanostructured substrate by breaking down a polymer precursor and was crystallized by a nickel catalyst during relatively low temperature inert gas annealing. The resulting free-standing graphene-based material can remain on the substrate surface after catalyst removal or can be removed as a separate film. The film is flexible, continuous, and closely mimics the silicon nanostructure. This follows research on similar solid carbon precursor derived semi-crystalline graphene synthesis procedures and applies it to complex silicon nanostructures. This work examined the progression of the carbon, finding that it migrates through the thin film catalyst and forms the graphene only on the other side, and that the process can successfully be used to form 3D shaped graphene films. Semi-crystalline graphene has the possible application of being flexible transparent electrodes, and the 3D shaping opens the possibility of more complex configurations and applications.
