Graphene synthesis

On-the-spot growth

Nature Materials volume 15, pages 9–10 (2016)Cite this article

Subjects

Large single-crystalline graphene monolayers have been synthesized on a Cu–Ni alloy using a local precursor feeding method with an enhanced growth rate. The fast production of wafer-scale single crystals brings graphene closer to real applications.
