Abstract: A recipe for success The past few years have seen spectacular growth of interest in graphene, the carbon monolayer with novel electronic properties. Efforts to produce large sheets of monolayer (or few-layer) graphene could receive a welcome boost from a simple new procedure. Just by baking various solid carbon sources deposited on a metal catalyst substrate at a relatively modest 800 °C, it is possible to produce either pristine graphene or doped graphene in a single step. Suitable starting materials include polymer films and various small molecules.
