Synthesis of zeolite templated graphene (ZTG) from methanol via chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method

A new synthesis route in the production of graphene by template synthesis technique using zeolite as the host materials has successfully produced graphene. The highly regular ordered and highly crystalline structure of zeolite was successfully utilized for the formation of ordered sp2 graphitized gr...
