摘要
Large area and few to multi-layer graphene sheets were synthesized on a bimetallic catalyst system via radio-frequency chemical vapor deposition (RF-CVD). Synthesis conditions were varied and their effects on the morphological properties of the graphene structures were observed. As the flow rate of the hydrocarbon was varied, the diameter of the graphene structures increased from a few hundred nanometers to a few micrometers. The number of graphene layers was also found to be dependent on the hydrocarbon concentration. This method shows great potential for the synthesis of large area few-layer graphene sheets, which can be used in various electronic applications. Published by Elsevier B.V.
