The search for carbon-based materials with tailored dimensionality and properties remains an important topic in materials science, particularly for applications in electronics, photonics, and nanomechanics. Among the emerging platforms in…
Graphene has attracted a lot of research interests due to its exotic properties and a wide spectrum of potential applications. Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) from gaseous hydrocarbon sources has shown great promises for large-scale…
We evaluate how a second graphene layer forms and grows on Cu foils during chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Low-energy electron diffraction and microscopy is used to reveal that the second layer nucleates and grows next to the substrate,…
Carbon has three hybridization forms of sp-, sp2- and sp3-, and the combination of different forms can obtain different kinds of carbon allotropes, such as diamond, carbon nanotubes, fullerene, graphynes (GYs) and graphdiyne (GDY). Among…
By limiting the carbon segregation at the copper surface defects, a pulsed chemical vapor deposition method for single layer graphene growth is shown to inhibit the formation of few-layer regions, leading to a fully single-layered graphene…
Graphene has been suggested as an ultimately thin functional coating for metallurgical alloys such as steels. However, even on pure iron (Fe), the parent phase of steels, growth of high quality graphene films remains largely elusive to…
Large scale synthesis of single layer graphene (SLG) by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) has received a lot of attention recently. However, CVD synthesis of AB stacked bi-layer graphene (BLG) is still a challenging work. Here we report…
Direct growth of large-area vertically stacked two-dimensional (2D) van der Waal (vdW) materials is a prerequisite for their high-end applications in integrated electronics, optoelectronics and photovoltaics. Currently, centimetre- to even…
Current methods of chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of graphene on copper are complicated by multiple processing steps and by high temperatures required in both preparing the copper and inducing subsequent film growth. Here we demonstrate a…
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…
Understanding the competition between first-layer lateral expansion and second-layer nucleation is essential for layer-controlled graphene growth via chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Building on our previous phase diagram framework based on…
