  Abstract

A graphene-acrylic fabric electrothermal heater was fabricated through a simple and facile process, which can be easily implemented on a large scale, using graphene oxide solution and commercially available acrylic fabric. The electrothermal performances were evaluated in terms of the input current and input power density. The graphene oxide solution was coated on the acrylic fabric via a drop-casting method and was further reduced with hydroiodic acid at mild conditions (80 °C) for achieving electrical conductivity. Our graphene-acrylic fabric can generate heat at low voltages and exhibits good performance under bending conditions as well. These excellent results, combined with the facile process and wide availability of materials, indicate that graphene-acrylic fabric electrothermal heaters offer considerable potential for full-scale commercialization and applications related to heat-generating apparel or bedding fabrics.
