| Description | In this work a synthesis of two-dimensional graphene related materials (GRM) in microwave plasma torch (MPT) discharge was studied. The MPT discharge operates at atmospheric pressure conditions in argon atmosphere. The discharge was driven by a microwave generator set to standard frequency of 2.45 GHz. Liquid ethanol vapours were led to the discharge by carrying gas - argon, was selected as a precursor. Decomposition of ethanol, at specific deposition conditions, led to synthesis of graphene flakes. Created samples were analysed using Raman spectroscopy and electron microscopy. The discharge was examined by optical emission spectroscopy. |
