Search for scalable and economic production methods of graphene with well‐defined and reproducible electronic and optical properties and chemical functionalization remains a challenging topic in materials science. The review article of Andrey Turchanin “Graphene growth by conversion of aromatic self‐assembled monolayers” addresses this endeavour presenting a method for graphene growth employing molecular monolayers as precursors, electron irradiation induced chemical reactions and pyrolysis. Based on structural studies down to the nanoscale and functional characterization of the formed graphene sheets in devices, a perspective is given for implementation of the developed methodology in nanoscience and nanotechnology.
