Enhanced thermal transport at graphene oxide–water interface by uniform electric field

Abstract

Efficient heat dissipation across the graphene oxide (GO)–water interface is crucial for the thermal reliability of graphene- and GO-based nanoelectronic devices. Previous study have shown that the oxidation degree of graphene can regulate interfacial heat transfer, and a linear correlation between oxidation degree and interfacial thermal resistance has been identified at low-to-moderate oxidation levels. However, the effects of electric field on the interfacial thermal resistance at the GO–water interface remains unclear. In this study, non-equilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) simulations were performed in LAMMPS to investigate electric field controlled interfacial thermal transport at the GO–water interface.
