Figure 1: Growing graphene films in the ambient-air process.

(a) Polycrystalline Ni foil is thermally annealed together with soybean oil precursor, and the controlled synthesis of graphene is promoted in an ambient-air environment. Graphene films can then be transferred onto glass substrate. (b) Raman spectra indicate the presence of 1-layer, 2-layer and ≥3-layer regions in the graphene film grown at 800 °C.
