Chemical vapour deposition growth of large-area graphene on metals

Thesis

Graphene has unrivalled properties and is heralded as a revolutionary material for the 21^st century. Chemical vapour deposition (CVD) on metals is a promising method to produce large-area graphene. Controlling the properties of CVD graphene is vital for its integration in a wide-range of future applications. Many factors can influence the CVD growth of graphene and its properties, therefore further investigations will be beneficial to fully understand and control this technique. In...
