Synthesis of graphene through direct decomposition of CO2 with the aid of Ni–Ce–Fe trimetallic catalyst

Abstract

In this study, few-layered graphene (FLG) has been synthesized using the chemical vapour deposition (CVD) method with the aid of a novel NiCe -Fe trimetallic catalyst. Carbon dioxide was used as the carbon source in the present work. The obtained graphene was characterized by Raman spectroscopy, and the results proved that high-quality graphene sheets were obtained. Scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy and transmission electron microscopy pictures were used to investigate the morphology of the prepared FLG. The energydispersive X-ray spectroscopy results confirmed a high yield (∼48%) of the obtained graphene through this method. NiCe -Fe has been shown to be an active catalyst in the production of high-quality graphene via carbon dioxide decomposition. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy spectrum was also obtained to confirm the formation of graphene.

Calcium‐Based Sustainable Chemical Technologies for Total Carbon Recycling

“…Carbon materials prepared from CO 2 can be involved in the first step of the overall process. A number of studies have reported the transformation of CO 2 into highly reactive carbon materials under catalytic, chemical, and electrochemical conditions –. The reaction of carbon materials with a number of calcium sources (Ca(OH) 2 , CaO, or CaCO 3 ) will produce calcium carbide through a known pathway.…”
