Graphene. Carbon The lack of waste cooking palm oil management especially from fried chicken is becoming problematic issues where it disposing to soil, kitchen sink, drainage system, river and others, which cause pollutions effect. Nowadays, graphene grows to be new types of materials for manufacturing humidity sensors with low cost and eco-friendly technology in industry.

All samples were prepared at different cycle precursor (refined, first cycle, second cycles and third cycles), amount of precursor (5 μl, 10 μl, 50 μl, and 100 μl), temperature precursor (250°C-450°C), deposition temperature (850°C-1100°C), and synthesis time (5-30 minutes), respectively. The results indicate that graphene prepared at third cycles precursor with 10 μl at 350°C of temperature precursor, 1000°C of deposition temperature and 20 minutes deposition time have good arrangements graphene network structure with large active area and introduce less boundary defects.
