Roll-to-Roll Green Transfer of CVD Graphene onto Plastic for a Transparent and Flexible Triboelectric Nanogenerator.

A novel roll-to-roll, etching-free, clean transfer of CVD-grown graphene from copper to plastic using surface-energy-assisted delamination in hot deionized water is reported. The delamination process is realized by water penetration between the hydrophobic graphene and a hydrophilic native oxide layer on a copper foil.The transferred graphene on plastic is used as a high-output flexible and transparent triboelectric nanogenerator.
