There are different theories of graphene growth by chemical vapour deposition (CVD) techniques (e.g., microwave-CVD, plasma-CVD, thermal-CVD etc.) on a catalytic transition-metal substrate (commonly copper/nickel) is proposed by researchers.
Kindly put your expert insight whether there are any particular established mathematical relations/equations that follows carbon atoms diffusion in catalytic substrate or nucleation in surface to predict mono-layer/few-layers of graphene synthesis (considering the catalytic substrate is devoid of possible microstructural defects).
Dear Samit Karmakar
The epitaxial growth of graphene from SiC and the catalytic chemical vapour deposition (CVD) of carbon precursors are the two most commonly used methods for growing wafer-scale graphene.

Prof. S Kalaiselvan ,
Thank you for your opinion and sharing the article info. Although the article mentions the mechanisms of graphene growth in different catalytic substrate but justified with different models (e.g., surface growth model, nonlinear kinetic model etc.). But are there any specific/standard equation or law e.g., fick's diffusion or kinetic theory of diffusion governing graphene growth?
Vertical Graphene provide insights in how graphene growth, please check this reviews of some of my colleges .

Prof. Enrique Valderrama,
Thank you very much for sharing the articles. I will definitely go through both of them. The first article is provides detailed review on various 2-D nanomaterials and their synthesis methods & characterization. Although, I don't have access to download the full length article for: Review of Vertical Graphene and its Applications. Can you please share the full-length text for that? It will certainly provide insight to my query.
Thanks,
Samit
Dear Samit Karmakar, here is the article, it may help you to understand the mechanism of graphene growth Article Mechanisms of graphene growth by chemical vapour deposition ...
Thank you Prof. Khan for sharing the article info. It is the same article as Prof. S Kalaiselvan has shared. Hence, my query remains the same for the article that: are there any specific/standard equation or law e.g., fick's diffusion or kinetic theory of diffusion governing graphene growth? Which is not clear from the article.
Can anyone following this discussion, upload the full-length article Article Review of Vertical Graphene and its Applications
as suggested by Prof. Enrique Valderrama ? I am unable to access it.You can also mail me at [email protected] .
Thank you in advance!
