Two-dimensional carbon nanostructures: Fundamental properties, synthesis, characterization, and potential applications

“…Pioneer works have been done to grow few layer graphene on metal films. 158,160,161,170,180,193,[355][356][357][358][359][360][361] Recently, Reina et al successfully transferred the as-grown few layer graphene to an arbitrary substrate. Using Raman spectra, they found that such CVD grown graphene may not have ordered stacking, which in turn results in different electronic band structures.…”

A study of the key parameters, including the crucial role of H2 for uniform graphene growth on Ni foil

“…Since the first successful fabrication of graphene by cleavage, three major methods for the fabrication of single-and multi-layer graphene have been investigated. These methods include micromechanical cleavage [1] chemical exfoliation of graphite [8,9], and chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of hydrocarbons on a substrate surface [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]4,[24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38]. Among them, the latter (CVD growth) is considered to be of the most promising due to its capability of producing large-area deposition, the lack of intense mechanical and/or chemical treatments and its flexibility.…”

“…Among them, the latter (CVD growth) is considered to be of the most promising due to its capability of producing large-area deposition, the lack of intense mechanical and/or chemical treatments and its flexibility. The growth of graphene monolayers on single crystalline transition metals such as Co, Pt, Ir, Ru, Cu and Ni is well known [10][11][12][13][14]. In CVD the nucleation and growth of graphene usually occurs by exposure of the transition metal surface to a hydrocarbon gas under low pressure or UHV conditions.…”

Acetylene Decomposition on Rh(100): Theory and Experiment

“…A few studies address acetylene on the (0001) surfaces of the hexagonalclose-packed (hcp) metals ruthenium and cobalt. On cobalt acetylene decomposes [12,13] via vinylidene and methylidyne, while ethynyl and CCH 3 (ethylidyne) are the dominant species on ruthenium. [14] Herein, we investigate the decomposition of acetylene on a RhA C H T U N G T R E N N U N G (100) surface.…”
