Herein, we present a direct observation of the formation of graphene from a single copper–carbon nanoneedle (Cu–CNN) during the measurement of current–voltage (I–V) and direct heating via in situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Significant structural transformation of Cu–CNN was observed wit...
