The invention belongs to the technical field of preparation of
carbon nanomaterials, and provides a novel method for synthesising
nitrogen-
doped graphene by taking
melamine as a main
nitrogen and
carbon source and
methane as an auxiliary
carbon source through a chemical
vapour deposition method under the normal-pressure condition. Other catalysts, except for a
metal substrate, and a conventional gas or
liquid nitrogen source are not used in the method; therefore, the method is low in cost, non-toxic, simple and convenient to operate and convenient in process application; furthermore, no specific requirement for equipment exists in the reaction process; other heating devices, except for a main heating device, are unnecessary; therefore, the method is high in
operability and is applied to practical popularization; the temperature of
copper is slowly increased in the low-temperature stage at first; a
nitrogen source and a
carbon source are simultaneously introduced into a tubular furnace for one time when the temperature of
copper reaches
reaction temperature; then, the temperature is rapidly decreased to
room temperature after completing reaction; at the time, a layer of
nitrogen doped graphene film is formed on the surface of
metal; and structural regulation and control, such as the
doping amount and
doping type of nitrogen in
graphene and the thickness and
crystallization degree of
graphene, can be realized through the parameters, such as the optimized
nitrogen source amount, temperature matching of front and rear temperature areas, the reaction time and the
reaction temperature.
