▎ 摘　　要

The controlled synthesis of large-scale monolayer graphene to be used in the development of cost-effective, mass-produced, and easy-to-use gas sensors for the real time monitoring of toxic gases is an important issue. In this study, scalable monolayer graphene was controllably synthesized by chemical vapor deposition on a copper substrate, and effectively transferred on a silica (insulator) substrate for gas sensing. A high-quality graphene layer was obtained by changing the growth conditions. Raman measurements indicated that large-area (1x1cm(2)) monolayer graphene dominated the transferred films. Gas sensing characterizations demonstrated that monolayer graphene can effectively detect NO2 and NH3 within the temperature range of 100 degrees C to 200 degrees C.
