Currently, graphene synthesis involves several key factors need to be improved: (i) lengthy high-temperature annealing processes to increase the grain size of the metal catalyst used to form graphene; (ii) utilization of purified and compressed gases to offer a homogenous and controlled delivery of carbon source materials; and (iii) the use of lengthy vacuum operation to avoid the presence of any detrimental reactive oxygen species from air2,4. To overcome these problems, we have designed a thermal CVD process to produce graphene in an ambient-air environment that is completely free of compressed or purified gases and requires minimum processing time. The process is schematically illustrated in Fig. 1a, in which the precursor for graphene growth and a metal catalyst (for example, Ni foil) are placed close together inside the heating zone of a furnace, before heating the quartz tube. The quartz tube is then sealed and the temperature is increased. During the ramping stage, air inside the quartz tube is released through a valve to maintain atmospheric pressure. Once the annealing stage is complete, the sample is removed from the heating zone for rapid cooling. Raman spectra of the samples grown at 800 °C in the ambient-air process indicated the presence of single-to-few layer graphene films covering the surface of the growth substrate (Fig. 1b). In the standard operation, the catalyst is low-cost polycrystalline Ni foil. Graphene growth occurs by thermal reforming of a natural precursor, soybean oil, in a closed ambient-air environment. Unlike conventional CVD methods or conventional natural precursor methods for growing graphene, the technique does not require any purified gases8,9. Moreover, expensive vacuum processing is avoided. The natural precursors substituted for purified gases are cheaper and safer. By restricting the air flow into the quartz tube, the transformation of solid-state carbon into carbon dioxide or other gaseous species is prevented. By controlling the temperature, cooling rate and precursor amount, the process enables the growth of homogenous graphene films of good quality. A comparison of the method with other CVD processes is provided in Supplementary Tables 1 and 2. The parameters observed to control the quality of graphene include temperature, processing time, precursor, substrate and the ambient-air environment. Nickel acted as a good catalyst for the breakdown of precursor material (in this case, the soybean-oil molecules) into smaller building units that are essential for the synthesis of graphene12. To investigate how the transformation occurred in the process, we have analysed the chemical composition of the annealed soybean oils at different temperatures (Supplementary Fig. 1). During the early stages of the annealing process, for instance at 300 °C, the long carbon chains in the soybean oil precursor were thermally dissociated into gaseous carbon building units such as methyl and ethyl species (Supplementary Fig. 1a). Other gaseous species were also generated, including hydrogen, water, hydroxyls and carbon dioxide, as confirmed by mass spectrometry (Supplementary Fig. 1b and c). Traces of heavier hydrocarbons such as propane were also observed. Most of the oil was vapourized by about 425 °C and a rapid mass reduction of the oil was observed by thermogravimetric analysis below 500 °C (Supplementary Fig. 1d). These building units present in the vapour can diffuse through the tube during the heating stage. As the temperature gradually increases to 800 °C, these carbon building units begin to dissociate into carbon atoms and dissolve into the Ni bulk. The sample was annealed for 3 min at 800 °C to promote dissolution of carbon atoms in the Ni substrate. Finally, following the rapid cooling stage, carbon segregates from the bulk and crystallizes on the Ni surface forming graphene12,13. At elevated temperatures, long hydrocarbons in the oil decompose in the presence of O2 to form water vapour. In particular, water vapour can promote the etching of amorphous carbon deposits on the Ni surface14. As such, we did not observe the formation of amorphous carbons in our sample. This also helps maintain the catalytic activity of the Ni surface in breaking down the precursor material15. Moreover, we have conducted a detailed analysis on the consumption of oxygen in the reactor during the growth process (Supplementary Note 1). We found that the precursor amount was critical for the consumption of reactive oxygen species. In the optimal growth condition, a slight carbon excessive environment is used to promote the growth of graphene and deter the formation of amorphous carbon. On the other hand, an over-excessive amount of precursor material led to an oversaturation of deposited carbon in the bulk of Ni, and subsequently, the crystallization of graphite on the Ni surface. This may explain the resulting formation of thick graphene sheets as observed in Supplementary Fig. 2a. Moreover, in the case of an insufficient amount of precursor, oxygen species can be present in the as-grown product in the form of C–O amorphous carbons (Supplementary Fig. 2b), consistent with the aforementioned calculations of oxygen consumption (Supplementary Note 1)16. These experiments indicate the critical role of the thermally dissociated precursor materials (that is, hydrocarbons) in consuming the reactive oxygen species present in the ambient-air environment, which has a profound effect in controlling the quality of the as-grown graphene films.We have also noticed that a slow cooling can promote excessive carbon segregation from the Ni bulk, which may account for the observed formation of a graphite-like film (Supplementary Fig. 2c). Another parameter that significantly influences the growth of graphene in the ambient air environment is the annealing temperature. At an annealing temperature of 500 °C, an incomplete formation of the graphene film was observed (Supplementary Fig. 2d). This may be attributed to an insufficient amount of energy to dissociate and reform the precursor material (that is, hydrocarbon species) required for graphene formation. Conversely, at a higher annealing temperature of 900 °C, thicker graphene sheets were observed (Supplementary Fig. 2e). This may arise from the increased rate of carbon diffusion, segregation and graphitization as a result of the elevated temperature. Importantly, these parameters allow us to obtain graphene films with tuneable average thickness and optical transmission, as characterized by Raman spectroscopy and optical transmission (Supplementary Fig. 3). It is worth mentioning that graphene did not form on other growth substrate materials with significantly lower carbon solubility than Ni, such as the commonly used Cu foil. Moreover, we did not observe graphene formation on graphitic surfaces such as woven carbon cloth (Supplementary Fig. 4). This suggests that the use of Ni (through, for example, carbon solubility, carbon segregation ability, catalytic effect, possibility of formation of oxide in air) and its interaction with the precursor material play a critical role in enabling the growth of graphene films. We also investigated the possibility of transforming other types of renewable oil groups. In particular, we were able to demonstrate the ambient-air growth of similar graphene films from other types of triglyceride (carbon)-containing precursors such as butter (Supplementary Fig. 5). As such, this method is versatile and may be tailored to transform other renewable carbon-containing natural precursors into graphene films. |

Nickel acted as a good catalyst for the breakdown of precursor material (in this case, the soybean-oil molecules) into smaller building units that are essential for the synthesis of graphene12. 觀察到控制石墨烯質(zhì)量的參數(shù)包括溫度、加工時(shí)間、前體、襯底和周圍空氣環(huán)境。鎳用作用于將前體材料(在這種情況下,大豆油分子)分解成對(duì)石墨烯的合成而言所必要的構(gòu)成單元。 To investigate how the transformation occurred in the process, we have analysed the chemical composition of the annealed soybean oils at different temperatures (Supplementary Fig. 1).
