Synthesis and characterization of graphene like nano flakes(GNF) using chemical vapor deposition

Abstract

We report on synthesis of Graphene like nano flake (GNF) by combustion of sugarcane waste using chemical vapor deposition technique. The obtained material was purified by chemical and annealing process. The synthesized and post treated samples were studied using Raman, optical spectroscopy and electron microscopy. In Raman spectroscopy, three prominent peaks have been observed and analyzed for their emergence. In microscopy studies, the area of the GNF were observed to be varied in the range of 5 to 50 µm2 compounded with low degree of crystallinity, warps, and wrinkles details are presented.
