▎ 摘  要

Graphene has attracted a great deal of attention because of its unique band structure and electronic properties that make it promising for applications in next-generation electronic devices, transparent flexible conducting electrodes, and sensors. Here, we report the substrate selective growth of centimeter size (similar to 3.5 cm x 1.5 cm), uniform, and continuous single and few-layer graphene films employing chemical vapor deposition technique on polycrystalline Cu foils using liquid precursor hexane. Structural characterizations suggest that as-grown graphene films are mostly single and few layers over large areas. We have demonstrated that these graphene films can be easily transferred to any desired substrate without damage. A liquid-precursor-based synthesis route opens up a new window for simple and inexpensive growth of pristine as well as doped graphene films using various organic liquids containing the dopant atoms.
