Thermal chemical vapor deposition was used to grow graphene on copper substrates [1] and isotopic labeling (13C vs 12C [2]) was used to study how graphene grows on Cu [3]. Graphene holds potential as a transparent electrically conductive thin film [4a, b, c] and for electrical energy storage (e.g.,,graphene-based ultracapacitors [5]). Our top-down approaches [6,7] were the first to target obtaining individual layers of graphite obtained by micromechanical exfoliation.
