Many aspects in the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) growth of graphene remain unclear such as its behavior near the catalyst grain boundaries. Here we investigate the CVD growth mechanism of graphene across the Cu grain boundaries using unidirectional aligned graphene domains, which simplifies the analysis of both graphene and Cu to a large extent. We found that for a graphene domain grown across the Cu grain boundary, the domain orientation is determined by the Cu grain where the domain nucleation center is located, and the Cu grain boundary will not change the growth behavior for this graphene domain. This growth mechanism is consistent with the Cu-step-attached nucleation and edge-attachment-limited growth mechanism for H-terminated graphene domains and will provide more guidance for the synthesis of high-quality graphene with less domain boundaries.

In the initial stages of chemical vapor deposition on a Cu(111) surface, one-dimensional Bn–1Nn (N-rich environment) or BnNn–1 (B-rich) chains first appear, and they transform to two-dimensional sp2 networks or h-BN islands at a critical size of 13.

Surface active carbon species depend on the type of metal substrates during graphene chemical vapor deposition, which implies different growth modes of graphene on the transition-metal surfaces.
