Abstract

The aim of this review is to describe the modern problems of production and application graphene and 2D transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD). Review widely describing experimental parameters of synthesis polycrystalline and monocrystalline graphene layers by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Considers processes of the sample preparation and the basics of multi-layer, single-layer films also single crystal atomic structures growth mechanisms. Performed a broad analysis of the influence of the deposition parameters, including precursors, substrates, atmospheric gas flows for the quality of graphene formation, as well as other 2D materials synthesized by CVD. Shown examples CVD growth of transition metals dichalcogenides by using various types of precursors and techniques. Explains mechanism of TMD crystal grains formation by sulfurization of tungsten and molybdenum oxides. Is shown that the development of CVD synthesis of 2D materials due to the rising demand for high-quality 2D materials for a variety of applications where highly controlled growing process is critically important. From this review, we can conclude that the complete controllable growing process of 2D materials by CVD method have not been achieved yet. Complete understanding of the epitaxy parameters impact is particular importance for the realization of a programmable control of the CVD growth in high-quality 2D materials growing. Discusses options of creating 2D heterostructures based on graphene and TMD. Сonclusion contains brief discussion about possible solutions the problems in synthesis of 2D materials by CVD.
