▎ 摘　　要

Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is an attractive technique which allows graphene with simultaneous heteroatom doping to be synthesized. In most cases, graphene is grown on a catalyst, followed by the subsequent transfer process. The latter is responsible for the degradation of the carrier mobility and conductivity of graphene due to the presence of the absorbants and transfer-related defects. Here, we report the catalyst-less and transfer-less synthesis of graphene with simultaneous nitrogen doping in a single step at a reduced temperature (700 degrees C) via the use of direct microwave plasma-enhanced CVD. By varying nitrogen flow rate, we explored the resultant structural and chemical properties of nitrogen-doped graphene. Atomic force microscopy revealed a more distorted growth process of graphene structure with the introduction of nitrogen gas-the root mean square roughness increased from 0.49 +/- 0.2 nm to 2.32 +/- 0.2 nm. Raman spectroscopy indicated that nitrogen-doped, multilayer graphene structures were produced using this method. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy showed the incorporation of pure pyridinic N dopants into the graphene structure with a nitrogen concentration up to 2.08 at.%.
