Electric graphene delamination from a freestanding membrane

The purpose of this project is to statistically determine the working range of monolayer graphene devices which operate in solution and electrical environments. Monolayer graphene has high application potential due to its ultra-high specific surface area and excellent electrical, optical, and mechanical properties. In previous studies, it was found that suspended monolayer graphene deforms under the influence of multiple external factors, which can affect some applications because the deformation of graphene is accompanied by some changes in its own properties. We explore the effect of graphene delamination caused by application of transverse electric field across a freestanding membrane and its effect on graphene properties
