The optimization of graphene growth on copper foils using an atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition setup is reported. CH4 and H2 were used as precursor gases and Raman spectroscopy as the main graphene characterization technique. Different growth parameters, including temperature and reaction time, the molar ratio of CH4/H2 in the feed and total flow of gases during the reaction step, were studied in detail. It was shown that graphene growth was not homogeneous in the entire sample, multilayer graphene was present in most of the sample, however as the synthesis parameters were optimized, graphene gained better quality, obtaining bilayer graphene over most of the sheet in the final optimized sample. Homemade software was used to analyze the quality of the synthesised graphene, obtaining a more quality graphene according to the synthesis parameters optimized. An optimal bilayer graphene sample was prepared at the lowest growth time (10 min) and the highest synthesis temperature (1050 °C), using a CH4/H2 flow ratio and a total flow rate ratio of precursors of 7% and 60 Nml (CH4 + H4) per min respectively.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
