摘要: The excellent physical and chemical properties of graphene have been extensively studied for both scientific interest novel applications in devices, such as organic photovoltaics, fuel cells, biosensors, display devices. One its two-dimensional electric is high electron transporting capability which gives enormous possibility the performance enhancement numerous electronic Herein, we demonstrate record-breaking electro-optic a polymer-stabilized liquid crystalline blue phase using reduced oxide (RGO) enriched polymer network, not only enhances conductivity system but also provides counter-benzene-rings to molecules strong π–π interaction. It reduces operation voltage (∼32%), response time (∼51%) hysteresis (∼53%) compared that conventional BPLC, thereby possibly contributes device applications.
