Continuously Large-Scale Preparation of Multi-Layer Graphene Grown on Polycrystalline SiC Microspheres

Abstract:

Gram scale multi-layer graphene grown on polycrystalline SiC microspheres were prepared by continuously preparation method in argon through chemical vapor deposition process using liquid polysilacarbosilane as raw material. The observation of products obtained at different temperature confirmed the growth is temperature dependent process. The method could be developed to synthesis hybrid nanostructures based on multi-layer graphene grown on polycrystalline SiC microspheres.
