Phase-Change on Nanoporous Graphene for Advanced Thermal Management

Abstract

We designed and microfabricated an ultrathin nanoporous membrane as an experimental platform to fundamentally probe the evaporation kinetics. Our nano device consisted of an ultrathin free-standing membrane (~200 nm thick) containing an array of nanopores (pore diameter ~100 nm). It realizes accurate and yet non-invasive interface temperature measurement and decouples the interfacial transport resistance from the thermofluidic resistance in the liquid phase and the diffusion resistance in the vapor phase.
