► Time-dependent structural evolution of graphene domains grows on Cu foil by using ambient pressure CVD. ► Hexagonal-shaped, single crystal of few-layer graphene domains up to 10μm is obtained. ► C–Cu alloyed nanoparticles as the intermediates supply carbon species for the growth of graphene domains. ► Surface adsorption combined with an epitaxial growth procedure is proposed to explain graphene grown on Cu foil herein.
The time-dependent structural evolution of graphene domains on copper foils by ambient pressure chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is studied in detail. The single crystalline graphene domains up to tens of micrometer are obtained, and carbon–copper (C–Cu) alloyed nanoparticles have been firstly founded out to act as intermediates which supply carbon species for the growth of graphene domains. The layer number and size can be adjustable by controlling growth time. On the basis of results, the surface adsorption combined with an epitaxial growth procedure is proposed to explain the growth of graphene on copper under the ambient pressure CVD. Our work presents a significant progress in production of graphene with controlled structure.
