| Abstract: | Gram-scale quantities of graphene sheets can be synthesized in a bottom-up chemical approach and we have sought to address the extent of the defect density using various
characterization techniques which include X-ray diffraction, high resolution transmission electron microscopy, single area electron diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. It was found that the chemically synthesized graphene sheets have a tendency to stack without
inter-planar coherence such as that found in graphite. The driving force behind this stacking is believed to be due to π-π
interactions between overlaid carbon sheets. The overall defect density was shown to decrease by simply varying the carbon
precursor used in the chemical synthesis. |
