We investigate the microscopic processes leading to graphene growth by the chemical vapor deposition of propane in the argon atmosphere at the SiC surface. Experimentally, it is known that the presence of argon fastens the dehydrogenation…
We demonstrate a novel in situ polymerization technique to develop localized polymer coatings on the surface of dispersed pristine graphene sheets. Graphene sheets show great promise as strong, conductive fillers in polymer nanocomposites;…
A great efficacy of molecular quantum chemistry applied to basic graphene problems has been recently demonstrated by the authors when studying the formation of peculiar composites between carbon nanotubes and graphene as well as considering…
We demonstrate a method by which few-layer graphene samples can be etched along crystallographic axes by thermally activated metallic nanoparticles. The technique results in long (>1 micron) crystallographic edges etched through to the…
Nanoporous materials represent a versatile solution for a number of applications ranging from sensing, energy applications, catalysis, drug delivery, and many others. The synergy between the outstanding properties of graphene with a…
The growth of controlled 1D carbon-based nanostructures on metal surfaces is a multistep process whose path, activation energies and intermediate metastable states strongly depend on the employed substrate. Whereas this process has been…
Vertical and lateral heterogeneous structures of two-dimensional (2D) materials have paved the way for pioneering studies on the physics and applications of 2D materials. A hybridized hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) and graphene lateral…

Graphene, a single atomic layer of graphitic carbon, has attracted intense attention due to its extraordinary properties that make it a suitable material for a wide range of technological applications. Large-area graphene films, which are…
We synthesize large-area graphene via atmospheric-pressure (AP) chemical vapor deposition (CVD) on copper, and transfer to SiO2 wafers. In contrast to low-pressure (LP) CVD on copper, optical contrast and atomic force microscopy…
A method to produce suspensions of graphene sheets by combining solution-based bromine intercalation and mild sonochemical exfoliation is presented. Ultrasonic treatment of graphite in water leads to the formation of suspensions of graphite…
Cu is most used substrate to grow monolayer graphene under a temperature near melting point. In this study, we elaborated a remarkable amount of Cu clusters were continuously evaporated during the graphene growth, resulting into the vapor…
At a single atom thick, it is challenging to distinguish graphene from its substrate using conventional techniques. In this paper we show that friction force microscopy (FFM) is a simple and quick technique for identifying graphene on a…

Non-destructive and rapid evaluation of graphene directly on the growth substrate (Cu foils) by dark field (DF) optical microscopy is demonstrated. Without any additional treatment, graphene on Cu foils with various coverages can be quickly…
Since the strong interlayer interaction of AB-stacked graphene in bulk form degrades the superior property of single-layer graphene, formation of randomly stacked graphene is required to apply the high performances of graphene to…
Films of (111)-textured Cu, Ni, and Cu$_x$Ni$_y$ were evaluated as substrates for chemical vapor deposition of graphene. A metal thickness of 400 nm to 700 nm was sputtered onto a substrate of $\alpha-$Al$_2$O$_3$(0001) at temperatures of…
Successful ways of fully exploiting the excellent structural and multifunctional performance of graphene and related materials are of great scientific and technological interest. New opportunities are provided by the fabrication of a novel…
Graphene based sheets have stimulated great interest due to their superior mechanical, electrical and thermal properties. A general visualization method that allows quick observation of these single atomic layers would be highly desirable…
We synthesized centimeter-scale single- to few-layer graphene (FLG) films via chemical vapor deposition (CVD) on Ni foils. We demonstrates that the precipitation mechanism may not be the only important mechanism in the formation of graphene…
