Such sp²The excellent electrical, thermal and mechanical properties of the material are determined by the hybridization mode and the unique energy band structure, and the material has important application prospects in the fields of microelectronic devices, storage, photoelectric sensing devices and the like. Among them, graphene-based electronic devices are the most potential technical field but are relatively slow to develop because the preparation technology of the single-layer single-crystal graphene of the macro scale is not perfect. Therefore, the controllable preparation of the large-size single-layer single-crystal graphene is an important premise for realizing the application of the graphene micro-nano electronic device.

Two common ideas for preparing large-size graphene by a CVD method are provided, one is to prepare graphene crystal domains with approximately consistent orientation on a copper foil, and enable the graphene crystal domains to be seamlessly connected to form a large-size film, but the graphene prepared by the method cannot completely eliminate microscopic defects among the crystal domains, and the defects can greatly influence the electrical properties of the graphene and cannot be calculated as single crystal graphene in a strict sense; the other idea is that graphene is singly nucleated on a copper foil and grows into graphene single crystals, but the preparation process of the large single crystal graphene is relatively complex and is subject to preparationConditions and processes affect and repeatability is poor. Although the CVD scheme can prepare single crystal graphene with a certain size, the obtained graphene based on a metal substrate still needs to be transferred to Si or SiO₂And the preparation of the micro-nano electronic device is realized on the insulating medium substrate. The transfer process will damage the integrity of the graphene to a certain extent, and the design and application of the back-end device are affected.
