Abstract

Graphene at full stretch High-performance, transparent and stretchable electrodes are in high demand for the development of flexible electronic and optoelectronic applications. Graphene, with excellent optical, electrical and mechanical properties on the microscale, is a promising candidate as the basis material. It has proved difficult to synthesize large-scale graphene films that retain these desirable properties, but Kim et al. now describe a technique for growing centimetre-scale graphene films with electrical conductance and optical transparency as high as those of microscale films. The graphene is deposited from chemical vapour onto thin layers of nickel, and then transferred onto arbitrary substrates — such as silicon dioxide — as a patterned film that can be used to construct stretchable transparent electrodes with excellent mechanical and electric stability.
