Abstract
There is provided a method for forming a graphene layer. The method includes forming an article that comprises a carbon-containing self-assembled monolayer (SAM). A layer of nickel is deposited on the SAM. The article is heated in a reducing atmosphere and cooled. The heating and cooling steps are carried out so as to convert the SAM to a graphene layer.
