ABSTRACT

The attractive application potentials of graphene demand highly efficient, lowcost, and large-scale preparation of this novel carbon material. Therefore, controllable synthesis of graphene has become one of the major tasks in graphene-related research. Since the first successful preparation of single-layer graphene, using a
