We report the growth of few-layer graphene (FLG) on a nickel (Ni) substrate using palm oil as a single carbon source by thermal chemical vapor deposition (T-CVD). Using an ample amount of vaporized palm oil resulted in the formation of a thick, amorphous carbon film on the Ni surface. By decreasing...
