▎ 摘  要

No characterization method is available to quickly perform quality inspection of 2D materials produced on an industrial scale. This hinders the adoption of 2D materials for product manufacturing in many industries. Here, we report an artificial-intelligence-assisted Raman analysis to quickly probe the quality of centimeter-large graphene samples in a non-destructive manner. Chemical vapor deposition of graphene is devised in this work such that two types of samples were obtained: layer-plus-islands and layer-by-layer graphene films, at centimeter scales. Using these samples, we implemented and integrated an unsupervised learning algorithm with an automated Raman spectroscopy to precisely cluster 20,250 and 18,000 Raman spectra collected from layer-plus-islands and layer-by-layer graphene films, respectively, into five and two clusters. Each cluster represents graphene patches with different layer numbers and stacking orders. For instance, the two clusters detected in layer-by-layer graphene films represent monolayer and bilayer graphene based on their Raman fingerprints. Our intelligent Raman analysis is fully automated, with no human operation involved, is highly reliable (99.95% accuracy), and can be generalized to other 2D materials, paving the way towards industrialization of 2D materials for various applications in the future.
