Claim 0:
1. A method of making a plasmonic metal/graphene heterostructure, the method comprising:
heating an organometallic complex precursor comprising a metal at a first temperature T1 for a first period of time t1 to deposit a layer of the metal on a surface of a heated substrate, the heated substrate in fluid communication with the precursor; and
heating, in situ, the precursor at a second temperature T2 for a second period of time t2 to simultaneously form on the layer of the metal, a monolayer of graphene and a plurality of carbon-encapsulated metal nanostructures comprising the metal, thereby providing the plasmonic metal/graphene heterostructure,
wherein the heated substrate is characterized by a third temperature T3.
