A two-step CVD route with toluene as the carbon precursor was used to grow continuous large-area monolayer graphene films on a very flat, electropolished Cu foil surface at 600 °C, lower than any temperature reported to date for growing continuous monolayer graphene. Graphene coverage is higher on the surface of electropolished Cu foil than that on the unelectropolished one under the same growth conditions. The measured hole and electron mobilities of the monolayer graphene grown at 600 °C were 811 and 190 cm(2)/(V·s), respectively, and the shift of the Dirac point was 18 V. The asymmetry in carrier mobilities can be attributed to extrinsic doping during the growth or transfer. The optical transmittance of graphene at 550 nm was 97.33%, confirming it was a monolayer, and the sheet resistance was ~8.02 × 10(3) Ω/□.

Terahertz (THz) signals are crucial for ultrawideband communication and high-resolution radar, demanding miniaturized detectors that can simultaneously measure multiple parameters such as intensity, frequency, polarization, and phase. Traditional detectors fail to meet these needs. To address this, we introduce a plasmon polariton atomic cavity (PPAC) detector based on monolayer graphene, offering a multifunctional, monolithic, and miniaturized solution.

We investigate the superconducting instabilities of twisted bilayer graphene quasicrystals (TBGQCs) obtained by stacking two monolayer graphene sheets with 30° relative twisting. The electronic energy spectrum of the TBGQC contains periodic energy ranges (PERs) and quasiperiodic energy ranges (QERs), where the underlying local density of states (LDOS) exhibits periodic and quasiperiodic distribution, respectively. We found that superconductivity in the PER is a simple superposition of two monolayer superconductors.

In the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) synthesis of graphene, the surficial chemical state of the metal substrate has exerted key roles in all elemental reaction steps determining the growth mechanism of graphene. Herein, a CO-participated annealing procedure is designed to construct catalytic CuO/Cu sites on Cu foil for the graphene CVD synthesis with CO/CH as carbon sources. These CuO/Cu species can catalyze the CH decomposition and subsequent C─C coupling to form C intermediates for fast growth of monolayer hexagonal graphene domains with a diameter of ≈30 µm within 0.
