Macroscopic properties of single-crystalline and polycrystalline graphene on soft substrate for transparent electrode applications

Large-area graphene synthesized by a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method is promising for a flexible, stretchable transparent electrode but suffers from structural defects such as grain boundaries, which causes to degrade its physical properties. Recently, preparation methods of large-scale growth templates for single-crystalline graphene (SCG) were reported, but the macroscopic properties of SCG have not been adequately examined yet. Here,...
