▎ 摘  要

Understanding and engineering the domain boundaries in chemically vapor deposited monolayer graphene will be critical for improving its properties. In this study, a combination of transmission electron Microscopy (TEM) techniques including !;elected area electron diffraction, high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), and dark field (DF) TEM was used to study the boundary orientation angle distribution and the nature of the carbon bonds at the domain boundaries. This report provides an important first step toward a fundamental understanding of these domain boundaries. The results show that, for the graphene grown in this study, the 46 measured misorientation angles are all between 11 degrees and 30 degrees (with the exception of one at 7 degrees). HR-TEM images show the presence of adsorbates in almost all of the boundary areas. When a boundary was imaged, defects were seen (dangling bonds) at the boundaries that likely contribute to adsorbates binding at these boundaries. DF-TEM images also showed the presence of a "twinlike" boundary.
