Abstract
Graphene oxide (GO) offers excellent possibilities that are recently demonstrated in many applications ranging from biological sensors to optoelectronic devices. The process of thermal annealing aids in removing the oxygen-containing groups in GO, making GO more graphene-like, or the so-called reduced graphene oxide (rGO). Thermal reduction can also be achieved by intense light. Here, we demonstrate a scalable, inexpensive, and environmentally friendly method to pattern graphene oxide films beyond the diffraction limit of light using a conventional laser. We show that contrary to previous reports, non-linear effects that occur under high intensity conditions of laser irradiation allow the fabrication of highly conductive carbon nanowires with dimensions much smaller than the laser spot size. The potential of this method is illustrated by the fabrication of several devices on flexible and transparent substrates, including hybrid plasmonic/rGO sensors.
