Kinetic modulation of graphene growth by fluorine through spatially confined decomposition of metal fluorides
Nature Chemistry, Published online: 15 July 2019; doi:10.1038/s41557-019-0290-1Active species such as hydrogen and oxygen are commonly introduced into reactors to control the growth of two-dimensional materials. Now, the presence of fluorine—released by the decomposition of a metal fluoride sheet—has also been shown to modulate the growth kinetics of graphene, h-BN and WS2.
