▎ 摘  要

Low-temperature (similar to 600 degrees C), scalable chemical vapor deposition of high-quality, uniform. monolayer graphene is demonstrated with a mapped Raman 2D/G ratio of >3.2, D/G ratio = 3000 cm(2) V-1 s(-1) on SiO2 support. A kinetic growth model for graphene CVD based on flux balances is established, which Is well supported by a systematic study of Ni-based polycrystalline catalysts. A finite carbon solubility of the catalyst is thereby a key advantage, as it allows the catalyst bulk to act as a mediating carbon sink while optimized graphene growth occurs by only locally saturating the catalyst surface with carbon. This also enables a route to the controlled formation of Bernal stacked bi- and few-layered graphene. The model is relevant to all catalyst materials and can readily serve as a general process rationale for optimized griphene CVD.
