High-performance, transparent and stretchable electrodes are in demand for the development of flexible electronic and optoelectronic applications. Graphene is a candidate as the basis material, because of its excellent optical, electrical and mechanical properties. This paper describes a technique to grow centimetre-scale films using chemical vapour deposition on nickel films and a method to pattern and transfer the films to arbitrary substrates. The electrical conductance and optical transparency are as high as those for microscale graphene films.
