Thermal management system containing a graphene oxide-coated graphitic foil laminate for electronic device application

摘要

A heat dissipation system, comprising: (a) an electronic device comprising a heat source, wherein the heat source transmits heat to a second component or an external surface of the device; (b) a heat-conducting layer being positioned such that one of its major surfaces is in operative contact with the heat source such that it is interposed between the heat source and the second component or the external surface. The heat-conducting layer comprises at least one graphene oxide-coated graphitic foil laminate which thermally shields the second component or the external surface from heat generated by the heat source, and wherein the laminate is composed of a graphitic substrate/core layer with at least one primary surface coated with a graphene oxide coating layer. This graphene oxide-coated laminate exhibits a combination of exceptional thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity, mechanical strength, surface hardness, and scratch resistance, making this the most effective heat dissipation system.
