  It is significant to prepare large area of high quality graphene for the
study of the characteristics of graphene and the research of the nano-devices
based on graphene. This paper summarizes the experiment progresses and
mechanism of graphene grown on different substrates. Nowadays, we can obtain
the large area of high quality graphene by using the methods, such as CVD,
epitaxial growth, etc. The interaction between the graphene and the substrates
is closely related to the mismatch of the lattice, weakness of the bonds and
the transformation of the electrons, which has a great influence on geometry,
energy band and the properties of electrons of the graphene. The combination of
the experiment and the calculation can make deeper understanding of the
mechanism of the effects between graphene and different substrates, which can
be served as a guide for further study.
