The present application relates generally to methods for growth of high quality graphene films. In particular, a method is provided for forming a graphene film using a modified chemical vapor deposition process using an oxygen-containing hydrocarbon liquid precursor. Desirably, the graphene films are a single-layer and have a single grain continuity of at least 1 &#x3bc;m.
