ABSTRACT
Wood is one of the most attractive material because it is abundant, eco-friendly, recyclable, and bio-degradable. However, while carbon neutrality policy is implemented, green material is re-spotlighted. Moreover, for using wood more effectively, people try to invent technologies of treating woods for overcoming the limitation of material. Here, we formed LIG (Laser-Induced-Graphene) electrodes on wooden material using ultrashort pulse laser. Ultrashort pulse laser is suitable for LIG formation because it can reduce the unwanted thermal ablation or thermal defects. Therefore, Wood surface is directly converted into LIG after irradiating by high repetition rate fs (femtosecond) laser without additional fire-retardant treatments in ambient air. Complex design of LIG electrodes can be easily patterned by fsLDW (Laser Direct Writing) technology. High quality three-dimensional porous with high electrical conductivity of LIG (~ 6 Ω/☐) is generated on wooden materials. Furthermore, LIG electrodes can be applied for smart green home applications, or smart wooden furniture.
