Here, we propose and investigate a graphene-based opt-thermoelectric nanotweezers, which replace the nano-metallic films in common opt-thermoelectric tweezers by graphene, and show advantages of single-layer graphene structure, broad working wavelength range from visible to infrared, and less toxicity for biological samples. We theoretically study the properties of thermoelectric force and optical force in trapping particles, and then experimentally verify the influence of different parameters on the trapping stiffness, including different polarization states of light, particle sizes, and incident laser energies. An enhanced particle manipulation accuracy within 50 nm has been achieved in experiment.
