Abstract
A method of making a plasmonic metal/graphene heterostructure comprises heating an organometallic complex precursor comprising a metal at a first temperature Tfor a first period of time tto deposit a layer of the metal on a surface of a heated substrate, the heated substrate in fluid communication with the precursor; and heating, in situ, the precursor at a second temperature Tfor a second period of time tto simultaneously form on the layer of the metal, a monolayer of graphene and a plurality of carbon-encapsulated metal nanostructures comprising the metal, thereby providing the plasmonic metal/graphene heterostructure. The heated substrate is characterized by a third temperature T. The plasmonic metal/graphene heterostructures, devices incorporating the heterostructures, and methods of using the heterostructures are also provided.
