Graphene starts forming in little islands, and then those islands
grow together to form a continuous
sheet,» Hart says.
The hexagons
grow together into a seamless
sheet of
graphene.
The
graphene deposits form lines that then
grow into a seamless
sheet, which contributes to its mechanical and electrical integrity.

grow in the body.
Catalytically
growing graphene (a
sheet of carbon just one atom thick) and other 2D materials on polycrystalline metal foils by chemical vapour deposition (CVD) is one of the best ways to fabricate continuous
sheets of these nanostructures.
