Synthesis, growth mechanism and thermal stability of copper nanoparticles encapsulated by multi-layer graphene

TLDR
In this article, the copper shell/core nanoparticles were found to be formed by a novel coalescence mechanism that is quite different from the well-known dissolution-precipitation mechanism for some other graphene/metal (such as nickel, iron or cobalt) shell or core nanoparticles.

Large-Area Synthesis of High-Quality and Uniform Graphene Films on Copper Foils

TL;DR: It is shown that graphene grows in a self-limiting way on copper films as large-area sheets (one square centimeter) from methane through a chemical vapor deposition process, and graphene film transfer processes to arbitrary substrates showed electron mobilities as high as 4050 square centimeters per volt per second at room temperature.
