Plasma-enabled, catalyst-free, and highly reproducible growth of the as-yet elusive unidirectional arrays of well-separated, vertically standing, few-layer graphene nanosheets with open reactive graphitic edges is demonstrated. The nanosheet density, length, and orientation can be effectively controlled using electric fields.
