Residual metallic contamination of transferred chemical vapor deposited graphene
Lupina, G., et al. ACS Nano 2015 DOI: 10.1021/acsnano.5b01261 Wet transfer processes that are often used to place CVD graphene onto application substrates are shown to result in the trace contamination of the material. These purities can adversely affect graphene’s otherwise exceptional properties, with implications for electronic and optoelectronic applications.
