On page 2009, X. Xie and co‐workers demonstrate a new strategy that enables the fast growth of a ≈300 μm bilayer graphene in ≈10 minutes, by using the synergic effects of Cu 85 Ni 15 and the copper vapor evaporated from copper foil. The copper vapor reduced the growth rate of the first graphene layer while the carbon dissolved in the alloy boosted the growth of the subsequently developed second graphene layer with AB‐stacking order. This success paves the way for the scalable fabrication of bilayer graphene with large domain size, which is essential for the exploration of logic and photonic devices based on AB stacked bilayer graphene.
