Pelco Graphene products are available on a variety of substrates including lacey carbon, 300 mesh Cu grid, 2000 mesh Cu gridholey silicon nitride, and ultra-flat SiO2. The Graphene is available in different thicknesses: single layer, 2-layers, 3-5, and 6-8 layers. Graphene sheets with thicker layers are available by special order.

Graphene on Lacey Carbon

The PELCO® Graphene TEM Support Films are suspended on a lacey carbon film on a 300mesh grid (#01895). The Graphene films we offer have either single, 2, 3-5, or 6-8 layer Graphene sheets and cover the entire TEM grid. The usable area is around 75% due to some unavoidable folds and wrinkles in the Graphene sheets. Graphene, with its unique properties, offers a support film layer that is more conductive and also much thinner than the average carbon support film. Although it is a crystalline support film, its contribution to signal formation is relatively low. This makes the single and 2-layer Graphene support film ideal for high resolution imaging, imaging of nanoparticles and imaging of weak contrast materials/interfaces.

Comparison of the diffraction pattern of Graphene on copper mesh coated with a lacey carbon film measured with (a) a transmission electron microscope (TEM) at 80 kV and (b) the ultrafast electron diffraction (UED) setup at 6 kV. The line profiles in (c) correspond to the highlighted regions in the diffraction patterns in (a) and (b). These data have been normalized to the intensity of the first order peak. The widths and locations of neighbouring Bragg peaks were used to estimate the transverse coherence length of the UED setup. Ref: Badali, et. al. Struct. Dyn. 3, 034302 (2016).

PELCO® Graphene Oxide TEM Support Films & Substrates

for TEM, SEM, SPM & Research


Available with single and 2-layer graphene oxide
on lacey carbon, holey silicon nitride, and ultra flat SiO2

Graphene TEM Support Films for TEM
2-layer Graphene Oxide Film on Lacey Carbon

PELCO® Graphene Oxide Films

The PELCO® Graphene Oxide films are based on the single and 2-layer PELCO® Graphene Films. The form in which they are offered is the same as the graphene films with the difference that the graphene films are oxidized using a proprietary oxidization process. This makes the films hydrophilic and more suitable for life science applications and research.

The graphene oxide films cover the entire lacey carbon,  holey silicon nitride or the silicon dioxide substrates. For technical details on supports, please look at the technical details of the single and 2-layer graphene films.

The user can expect to find around 70% graphene oxide coverage. Due to the fabrication process used some 10-100nm diameter pores are to be found randomly scattered about the graphene oxide film. In spite of this, we are convinced that this graphene oxide film is superior to the graphene oxide flakes which are offered by others.

The thickness of the single layer of graphene oxide film is 0.8 - 1.2nm as measured by EELS

The thickness of the 2-layer graphene oxide film is 1 - 1.5nm as measured by EELS.

PELCO® Graphene Oxide TEM Supports

The basic structure is the same as the graphene TEM supports; Lacey carbon on a 300mesh Cu grid and on top of the Lacey carbon is the graphene oxide. The graphene oxide films are research ready and offer large areas of graphene oxide over the complete TEM grid area. Available in packages of 5,10 or 25.
