Graphene has attracted worldwide interest since its experimental discovery 1 , 2 , but the
preparation of large-area, continuous graphene film on SiO 2 /Si wafers, free from growth-…

Graphene films grown by chemical vapour deposition have unusual physical and chemical
properties that offer promise for applications such as flexible electronics and high-frequency …

Large single-crystal graphene is highly desired and important for the applications of graphene
in electronics, as grain boundaries between graphene grains markedly degrade its quality …

Two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures have attracted considerable
attention in recent years 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 – 5 . The most widely used method of fabrication is to stack …

Integration of individual two-dimensional graphene sheets 1 , 2 , 3 into macroscopic structures
is essential for the application of graphene. A series of graphene-based composites 4 , 5 , …

We report a facile strategy to synthesize the nanocomposite of Co 3 O 4 nanoparticles anchored
on conducting graphene as an advanced anode material for high-performance lithium-…

We developed a hydrogen arc discharge exfoliation method for the synthesis of graphene
sheets (GSs) with excellent electrical conductivity and good thermal stability from graphite …

Large-area sheets are highly desirable for fundamental research and technological applications
of graphene. Here we introduce a modified chemical exfoliation technique to prepare …

The sp 2 nature of graphene endows the hexagonal lattice with very high theoretical
stiffness, strength and resilience, all well-documented. However, the ultimate stretchability of …

In the past decade, mechanical metamaterials have garnered increasing attention owing to
its novel design principles which combine the concept of hierarchical architecture with …
