Graphene synthesis by cvd on copper substrates.
One alternative method that has been researched involves the creation of cvd graphene on a copper cu substrate in this example cu is used as a catalyst in the reaction.
Graphene is needed 1.
As for the graphene synthesis by cvd it is beneficial to maximize the scale while maintaining the homogeneity of large area films as indicated by bae et al.
Our research focused on synthesis of monolayer graphene on 25 µm thick copper cu substrates which allowed for lateral growth on the scale of many centimeters.
During cvd a reaction occurs between the copper substrate and the graphene that create a high level of hydrostatic compression coupling the graphene to the substrate.
However your target is to prepare the cu substrate for graphene synthesis so in this case small amount of oxygenated functional groups are beneficial.
A creative approach to the cvd synthesis of ultra large area graphene based on selective joule heating was reported by kobayashi et al.
I feel that is the reason you are doing a.
