Two-dimensional (2D) materials such as graphene have inspired a worldwide upsurge of research interests since 2004 when graphene were firstly obtained by Andre Geim using mechanical exfoliation from highly oriented pyrolytic graphite. In spite of the excellent carrier mobility of graphene, the lack...
