Substrate free synthesis of graphene nanoflakes by atmospheric pressure chemical vapour deposition using Ni powder as a catalyst

Abstract: Graphene nanoflakes (GNFs) were synthesized by atmospheric pressure chemical vapour deposition of propane (C 3 H 8 ) employing Ni (salen) powder without the introduction of a substrate. The graphitic nature of the GNFs was examined by an X-ray diffraction method. Scanning electron microscopy results revealed that GNFs were stacked on top of one another and had a high aspect ratio. Transmission electron microscopy studies suggested that the GNFs were made up of a number of crystalline graphene layers, some of w… Show more

“…The SAED patterns of the pristine GO show clear and sharp hexagonal spots, confirming the typical structure of a monolayer graphene (Figure 8a). In contrast, the diffused diffraction patterns shown in Figure 8b,c suggest that the graphene sheets are randomly stacked with a lower stacking level, due to the removal of the oxygenated groups, confirming the formation of rGO [40,41].…”

“…It reduces the dependence on non-renewable carbon sources, minimizes waste generation, and diminishes the environmental footprint typically associated with traditional graphene production methods, like CVD utilizing hydrocarbon gases. 15 An additional eco-friendly advantage lies in the biodegradability of residual biomass. Any unused or byproduct biomass naturally degrades, minimizing the environmental impact and waste accumulation.…”
