“…Among these dielectric and insulating substrates, glass as transparent amorphous oxide is highly promise for G‐TCFs fabrication which can combine the intrinsic properties of graphene and glasses. The plasma‐enhanced CVD (PECVD) route can enable direct graphene coating on various glasses at a low temperature (400–600 °C) . The energetic plasma can dissociate CH 4 into various active species, such as CH x , C 2 H y , and atomic C and H, which are able to adsorb and collide onto the substrate surface, and play a dominant role in the graphene nucleation and growth ( Figure a).…”

The rising demands of optoelectronic devices, such as flexibility, stretchability, and energy efficiency, urgently require alternative transparent conductive films (TCFs) for indium tin oxide. Among all the candidates such as carbon nanomaterials, metal nanomaterials, conductive polymers, and other nanocomposites, graphene is highly promising because of its distinct properties, such as outstanding conductivity, impressive optical transparency, remarkable mechanical flexibility, and chemical/thermal stability. However, the practical application of graphene‐based TCFs (G‐TCFs) is still challenging due to the difficulty for preparing large‐area crystalline graphene with few defects for TCFs. Many efforts have been made to solve these problems, and several kinds of optoelectronic devices have been successfully fabricated with G‐TCFs. This review presents the recent development in this area made by the authors and others, including the material systems and synthetic strategies of G‐TCFs, as well as their applications as transparent electrodes in optoelectronic devices such as field effect transistors, organic light‐emitting diodes, organic solar cells, and other devices. The current major challenges in this area and the potential practical solutions are identified.

We study the metal-catalyst-free growth of uniform and continuous graphene films on different insulating substrates by microwave plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) with a gas mixture of C 2 H 2 , NH 3 , and H 2 at a relatively low temperature of 700-750 C. Compared to growth using only C 2 H 2 and H 2 , the use of NH 3 during synthesis is found to be beneficial, in transforming vertical graphene nano-walls into a layer-by-layer film, reducing the density of defects, and improving the graphene quality. The effect of different insulating substrates (including Al 2 O 3 and SiO 2 ) on the growth of graphene was studied under different growth temperatures, implying that the growth-temperature window and catalytic effect vary among insulators. The low activation energy barrier of Al 2 O 3 proves it to be a more suitable substrate for the metal-catalyst-free growth of graphene at low temperature. These directly grown graphene films on insulators can be conveniently integrated into various electronic and optoelectronic applications avoiding any post-growth transfer processes.

Monolayer MoS2, with fascinating mechanical, electrical, and optical properties, has generated enormous scientific curiosity and industrial interest. Controllable and scalable synthesis of monolayer MoS2 on various desired substrates has significant meaning in both basic scientific research and device application. Recent years have witnessed many advances in the direct synthesis of single-crystalline MoS2 flakes or their polycrystalline aggregates on numerous diverse substrates, such as SiO2-Si, mica, sapphire, h-BN, and SrTiO3, etc. In this work, we used the dual-temperature-zone atmospheric-pressure chemical vapor deposition method to directly synthesize large-scale monolayer MoS2 on fused silica, the most ordinary transparent insulating material in daily life. We systematically investigated the photoluminescence (PL) properties of monolayer MoS2 on fused silica and SiO2-Si substrates, which have different thermal conductivity coefficients and thermal expansion coefficients. We found that there exists a stronger strain on monolayer MoS2 grown on fused silica, and the strain becomes more obvious as temperature decreases. Moreover, the monolayer MoS2 grown on fused silica exhibits the unique trait of a fractal shape with tortuous edges and has stronger adsorbability. The monolayer MoS2 grown on fused silica may find application in sensing, energy storage, and transparent optoelectronics, etc.
