The seeded growth of graphene
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we demonstrate the seeded growth of graphene under a plasma chemical vapor deposition condition. First, we fabricate graphene nanopowders (~5 nm) by ball-milling commercial multi-wall carbon nanotubes. The graphene nanoparticles were subsequently subject to a direct current plasma generated in a 100 Torr 10%CH4 - 90%H2 gas mixture. The plasma growth enlarged, over one hour, the nuclei to graphene sheets larger than one hundred nm(2) in area. Characterization by electron and X-ray diffraction, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy images provide evidence for the presence of monolayer graphene sheets.

Graphene growth from reduced graphene oxide by chemical vapour deposition: seeded growth accompanied by restoration
Understanding the underlying mechanisms involved in graphene growth via chemical vapour deposition (CVD) is critical for precise control of the characteristics of graphene. Despite much effort, the actual processes behind graphene synthesis still remain to be elucidated in a large number of aspects. Herein, we report the evolution of graphene properties during in-plane growth of graphene from r...

متن کاملAu-Seeded Growth of Vertical and in-Plane III–V Nanowires on Graphite Substrates
Graphene is promising as a transparent, flexible, and possibly cost-effective substrate for nanowire-based devices. We have investigated Au-seeded III-V nanowire growth with graphite as a model substrate. The highest yield of undoped vertical nanowires was found for InAs, but we also observed vertical nanowires for the InP, GaP, and GaAs materials. The yield of vertical nanowires for GaP and Ga...

متن کاملSuppression of grain boundaries in graphene growth on superstructured Mn-Cu(111) surface.
As undesirable defects, grain boundaries (GBs) are widespread in epitaxial graphene using existing growth methods on metal substrates. Employing density functional theory calculations, we first identify that the misorientations of carbon islands nucleated on a Cu(111) surface lead to the formation of GBs as the islands coalesce. We then propose a two-step kinetic pathway to effectively suppress...
