Wrinkles are ubiquitous for graphene films grown on various substrates by chemical vapor deposition at high temperature due to the strain induced thermal mismatch between and substrates, which greatly degrades extraordinary properties of graphene. Here we show that wrinkle formation Cu is strongly dependent crystallographic orientations. Wrinkle-free single-crystal was a wafer-scale twin-boundary-free Cu(111) thin film fabricated sapphire substrate through engineering. The wrinkle-free...

Abstract Lithium‐rich layered oxides (LROs) are one class of the most competitive high‐capacity cathode materials due to their anion/cation synergistic redox activity. However, excessive oxidation oxygen sublattices can induce serious loss and structural imbalance. Hence, a near‐surface reconfiguration strategy by fluorinating graphene is proposed precisely regulate Mn 3+ /Mn 4+ O 2− /(O 2 ) n− couples for remarkably stabilizing LROs realizing simultaneous reduction lattice stress,...
