▎ 摘  要

The fast growth of large single-crystalline graphene by chemical vapor deposition on Cu foil remains a challenge for industrial-scale applications. To achieve the fast growth of large single-crystalline graphene, understanding the detailed dynamics governing the entire growth process-including nucleation, growth, and coalescence-is important; however, these remain unexplored. In this study, by using a pulsed carbon isotope labeling technique in conjunction with micro-Raman spectroscopy identification, we visualized the growth dynamics, such as nucleation, growth, and coalescence, during the fast growth of large single-crystalline graphene domains. By tuning the supply of the carbon source, a growth rate of 320 mu m/min and the growth of centimeter-sized graphene single crystals were achieved on Cu foil.
