Abstract

Here, we report the structural analysis and rotational stacking faults of few-layer graphene sheets derived by the controlled pyrolysis of the solid botanical derivative camphor (C10H16O). The second-order Raman spectra of the sheets show that the graphene layers are more than one single layer, and the numbers of layers can be controlled by adjusting the amount of camphor pyrolyzed. Transmission electron microscopy images show a minimum of 3 layers for thinner graphene sheets and a maximum of 12 layers for thicker graphene sheets. Low-voltage aberration-corrected high-resolution transmission electron microscopy is also carried out to gain insight into the hexagonal structure and stacking of graphene layers. The transmission electron microscopy study showed the presence of moiré patterns with a relative rotation between graphene layers.
