Abstract

Graphene‐like materials are utilized to make electrical devices, thermal sensors, biosensors, and energy storage batteries. Herein, an efficient and cost‐effective approach is demonstrated by modulating the sonication time duration for producing a few layers of graphene using the emulsification qualities of low‐cost and environmentally friendly gum Arabic. By implementing the modified approach, the production time for graphene synthesis is significantly reduced to a short duration as compared to preliminarily reported methodologies. XRD, field‐emission scanning electron microscopy, and Raman spectroscopic results of graphene samples are presented in order to study the nature of defects. The flakes are thin enough (20 nm) to seem semitransparent under the FESEM. From the combination of both I2D/IG and FWHM (2D), a predominant formation of 3–7 graphene layers is observed. It is identified that mainly foreign adatom defects are present, with a density of ≈1010 cm−2, which results in an increasing Hall carrier concentration (≈2 × 1023 m−3) and mobility (≈27 800 cm2 Vs−1). Furthermore, graphene has a higher electrical conductivity of ≈550 S cm−1, which is far better than previously reported. This research opens the way for the mass manufacturing of simple, green, and cost‐effective graphene with better quality and physical attributes.
