In this study, high-quality and few-layered graphene was synthesized using the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method from liquid sources. Two different liquid carbon sources, pyridine, and benzene, were used and deposited on nickel foam under heat conditions using a bubbler in a quartz tube. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman analysis confirmed the crystalline properties of graphene and N-doped graphene, demonstrating the high quality and few layers of graphene produced through the synthesis procedure. Energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) confirmed N doping while scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) provided clear sample morphology. The study reports the feasibility of utilizing liquid precursors to produce large-area, continuous, and mostly few-layer graphene, and N-doped graphene, making it a promising candidate for use as an electrode for different applications.
