Abstract

The graphene was synthesized by two routes the 1st one application of conventional sonication in case of Tri-chloro-acetic 75% H2SO3 for 60hrs while 2nd is combined sonication (60 hrs) plus laser irradiations for 30hrs. The yields of two routes are collected and compared structurally to check and investigate the effect of laser on structure quality and amount of yield obtained. Results indicated that combined route gave yield higher than conventional route by ratio ~ 39%. AFM-investigations were performed to characterize nano-structural features of produced graphene. Furthermore raman spectra were measured to confirm graphene formation.
