Advances in the synthesis and scalable manufacturing of single-walled carbon nanotubes
(SWCNTs) remain critical to realizing many important commercial applications. Here we …

Two-dimensional (2D) materials are characterised by their strong intraplanar bonding but
weak interplanar interaction. Interfaces between neighboring 2D layers or between 2D …

Because of the atomic thinness of graphene, its integration into a device will always involve
its interaction with at least one supporting substrate, making the surface energy of graphene …

The atomic-thick anticorrosion coating for copper (Cu) electrodes is essential for the
miniaturisation in the semiconductor industry. Graphene has long been expected to be the …

We demonstrated experimentally that graphene–Cu–graphene heterogeneous films reveal
strongly enhanced thermal conductivity as compared to the reference Cu and annealed Cu …

Bernal (AB)-stacked bilayer graphene (BLG) is a semiconductor whose bandgap can be
tuned by a transverse electric field, making it a unique material for a number of electronic …

This work highlights the importance of in situ experiments for an improved understanding of
graphene growth on copper via metal-catalyzed chemical vapor deposition (CVD) …

Heterostructure has triggered a surge of interest due to its synergistic effects between two
different layers, which contributes to desirable physical properties for extensive potential …

Increasing both clean water and green energy demands for survival and development are
the grand challenges of our age. Here, we successfully fabricate a novel multifunctional 3D …

Using a combination of complementary in situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and X-ray
diffraction, we study the fundamental mechanisms underlying the chemical vapor deposition …
