Graphene is the ideal material for many dream applications, such as single electron transistors, field emission sources [1], light through electrodes, clothing solar cells, terra hertz surface acoustic wave (SAW) filters, wall paper displays, UV light emitting diodes, atomic gas sensors, DNA or antigen wafers…etc. However, a practical method to fabricate meter-sized graphene is still beyond imagination. We made use the mechanism of diamond synthesis in liquid phase and produced graphene of several hundreds microns. Such graphene revealed silk-like tenderness with transparent folding lines. This promising process appears scalable for making device-sized graphene in the near future. This paper also presented many intriguing aspects related to the growth of large graphene. We also proposed a new hypothesis of graphene formation by the catalytic exfoliation of graphite in molten iron group alloys.
