- The high thermal conductivity of graphene and few-layer graphene undergoes severe degradations through contact with the substrate. Here we show experimentally that the thermal management of a micro heater is substantially improved by introducing alternative heat-escaping channels into a graphene-based film bonded to functionalized graphene oxide through amino-silane molecules. Using a resistance temperature probe for in situ monitoring we demonstrate that the hotspot temperature was lowered by similar to 28 degrees C for a chip operating at 1,300 Wcm(-2). Thermal resistance probed by pulsed photothermal reflectance measurements demonstrated an improved thermal coupling due to functionalization on the graphene-graphene oxide interface. Three functionalization molecules manifest distinct interfacial thermal transport behaviour, corroborating our atomistic calculations in unveiling the role of molecular chain length and functional groups. Molecular dynamics simulations reveal that the functionalization constrains the cross-plane phonon scattering, which in turn enhances in-plane heat conduction of the bonded graphene film by recovering the long flexural phonon lifetime.

- We studied the heat-spreading enhancement of supported few-layer graphene by inserting silane-functionalization molecules between graphene sheets. We calculated the overall thermal resistance of graphene-substrate interface and the in-plane thermal conductivity of graphene sheets by equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations. We probed the spectral phonon transmission coefficient by non-equilibrium Green's function to characterize the local heat conduction through the interface. Our results show that the overal thermal resistance between the substrate graphene and the upper two-layer graphene underwent a three-fold increase by the presence of the molecules, while the local heat conduction from the hot spot to the graphene sheets through the molecules was largely intensified. Furthermore, the in-plane thermal conductivity of the few-layer graphene increased by 60% compared with the supported graphene non-bonded to the substrate through the molecules. This increase is attributed to the refrained cross-plane phonon scattering which in turn reinforces the in-plane heat conduction of the few-layer graphene. In summary, we proved that by inserting silane-functionalization molecules, the few-layer graphene becomes an ideal candidate for heat spreading by guiding heat more efficiently away from the heat source.

- It is demonstrated that a graphene-based film (GBF) functionalized with silane molecules strongly enhances thermal performance. The resistance temperature detector results show that the inclusion of silane molecules doubles the heat spreading ability. Furthermore, molecular dynamics simulations show that the thermal conductivity () of the GBF increased by 15%-56% with respect to the number density of molecules compared to that with the nonfunctionalized graphene substrate. This increase in is attributed to the enhanced in-plane heat conduction of the GBF, resulting from the simultaneous increase of the thermal resistance between the GBF and the functionalized substrate limiting cross-plane phonon scattering. Enhancement of the thermal performance by inserting silane-functionalized molecules is important for the development of next-generation electronic devices and proposed application of GBFs for thermal management.
