Abstract

Graphene is the ideal material for many dream applications, such as single electron transistors, field emission sources, light through electrodes, flexible solar cells, wall paper displays, UV light emitting diodes, atomic gas sensors, DNA or antigen wafers, terra hertz surface acoustic wave (SAW) generators and filters...etc. However, a practical method to fabricate meter-sized graphene is still beyond imagination. In this research, we reported a simple technology to harvest large area graphite films by using molten alloy as the catalyst. Each film contains hundreds or thousands layers of graphene. Some stacks of graphene revealed silk-like tenderness with transparent folding lines. This liquid phase epitaxy (LPE) process appears scalable for making graphene layers measured in meter size. This paper also presented many intriguing aspects related to the growth of large graphene.
