Eco-Friendly Deposition of Catalyst-Free Graphene on Diverse Substrates (Adv. Sustainable Syst. 4/2025)

Abstract

Catalyst-Free Graphene Growth

In article number 2500105, Mustapha Jouiad and co-workers present an environmentally friendly and catalyst-free method for depositing high-quality graphene on various substrates, using ethylene as the sole carbon source. Using low-pressure electrochemical vapor deposition at room temperature, followed by flash annealing, the approach allows direct deposition without a complex transfer process. The resulting graphene films, 3–10 layers, exhibit excellent conductivity, opening promising prospects for sustainable graphene applications.
