    Graphene Growth
AI Thread Summary
Using a silicon carbide wafer with a monolayer of graphene as a template for growing rebar graphene is a topic of inquiry. The process involves spin-coating single wall carbon nanotubes onto the graphene and then annealing them. There are concerns about whether the nanotubes will bond effectively to the graphene or decompose, potentially forming a rebar graphene layer instead. Existing methods typically utilize copper foil for growing rebar graphene, raising questions about the viability of the SiC wafer approach. Further research and experimentation are needed to determine the feasibility of this method.

Hi, If I had a silicon carbide wafer Si-face with a monolayer of graphene on it, then spin-coat it with single wall carbon Nano tubes (CNTs) onto the graphene and then annealed it, would the CNTs bond to the graphene under them? Or would they still partially unzip and decompose forming a sheet of Rebar Graphene on top of it? I've read reports on how to grow rebar graphene but they use Copper (Cu) foil to grow it onto. I'd like to use the SiC wafer with a monolayer graphene as a template for the rebar graphene to grow on, is it Possible?
Thank you for your time.

Thank you for your help. It even helped me find info I'd haven't even thought of.

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
