The controllable synthesis of high quality low-dimensional materials, such as carbon nanotubes and graphene, is highly desired for both fundamental research and their industrial applications. It was also a great challenge in the society of low-dimensional materials. In the past we have paid great effort to explore the mechanism of low-dimensional materials’ growth and the potential routes towards the synthesis of the desired materials in a controllable manner. In this talk, I will present our theoretical study on the growth mechanism of low dimensional nanomaterials, the understanding of various experimental puzzles based on our theoretical results and the realization of the controllable synthesis experimentally. My talk will cover the following contents:
(i) The theory of nucleation and growth of carbon nanotubes [1] and the strategies towards the chirality control during growth [2];
(ii) The theory on the mechanism of graphene CVD growth[3] and the strategies toward the quick synthesis of wafer sized graphene and its controllable growth[4];
(iii) The kinetics of 2D materials growth and etching and the experimental control of their morphology.
These studies clearly showed that, beyond the calculation of various materials properties, theoretical exploration also can play a vital role in experimental design and material synthesis.
