Abstract

A unique ethanol-precursor-based LPCVD route is developed for the fast (4 min, improved 20 times) and scalable (25 inch, improved six times) growth of high-quality graphene glass. The obtained graphene glass presents high uniformity across large areas and is demonstrated to be an excellent material for constructing switchable windows and biosensor devices, owing to its excellent transparency and conductivity.

Keywords: 25-inch graphene glass; biosensors; fast growth; high uniformity; switchable windows.
