The growth of single and multilayer graphene nano-flakes on MgO and ZrO2 at low temperatures is shown through transmission electron microscopy. The graphene nano-flakes are ubiquitously anchored at step edges on MgO (100) surfaces. Density functional theory investigations on MgO (100) indicate C2H2 decomposition and carbon adsorption at step-edges. Hence, both the experimental and theoretical data highlight the importance of step sites for graphene growth on MgO.
