ABSTRACT
Thermal conductivity of porous graphene can be affected by defect concentration, nanopore shape and distribution, and it is hard to clarify the effects due to the correlation of those factors. In this work, molecular dynamics simulation is used to compare the thermal conductivity of graphene with three shapes of regularly arranged nanopores. The results prove the dominant role of defect concentration under certain circumstances in reducing thermal conductivity, while the coupling effect of nanopore shape should be noticed. When the atoms at the local phonon scattering area around each nanopore are properly removed, the abnormal increment of thermal conductivity can be detected with the increase of defect concentration. Heat flux vector angles can effectively characterize the local phonon scattering area, which can be used to describe the effect of nanopore shape. The coupling effect of defect concentration and pore shape with similar heat flux path is clarified according to this process. By adjusting vertex angle of triangle defect, there is a balanced state of the effect factors between the variation of defect concentration and the same phonon scattering area. It provides a possible way to describe the weighing factors of the coupling effect. The results suggest a feasible approach to optimize and regulate thermal properties of porous graphene in nanodevice.
