Abstract

Graphene is a two-dimensional, atomic-scale, and sp2-hybridized carbon with unique and excellent optical, mechanical, and electric properties which have attracted a lot of attention for a broad range of applications. In this chapter, methods of synthesizing, processing, and transferring graphene onto desired substrates for applications are explained. Synthesis of transfer-free graphene and convenient means of evaluating the quality of synthesized graphene are discussed.
