Abstract Graphene, the two-dimensional form of carbon, gained immense attention from scientists and engineers around the world due to its unmatched physio-chemical properties. The first and foremost challenge faced by the research community so far has been the large-area synthesis of graphene. Thereby, keeping in view the feasibility and applicability, many research groups have put their efforts into producing the best quality graphene by different techniques including mechanical exfoliation, chemical vapor deposition (CVD), and epitaxial growth. Hitherto, CVD, by far, provides the best quality graphene that can be adopted at the industrial level. However, other techniques have also been put to the test, some of which are also the highlights of our study. Herein, we present a review of the graphene growth via Solid Carbon Sources in particular. Solid precursors such as graphite, SiC, polymers, and even solid bio-precursors and solid waste materials are used in different studies in an effort to produce viable and better-quality graphene.

从固体碳源合成石墨烯：重点回顾

摘要 石墨烯是一种二维形式的碳，由于其无与伦比的理化性质，受到了世界各地科学家和工程师的极大关注。迄今为止，研究界面临的首要挑战是石墨烯的大面积合成。因此，考虑到可行性和适用性，许多研究小组努力通过不同的技术，包括机械剥离、化学气相沉积 (CVD) 和外延生长来生产最优质的石墨烯。迄今为止，CVD 提供了可以在工业水平上采用的最佳质量的石墨烯。然而，其他技术也已接受测试，其中一些也是我们研究的亮点。在此，我们特别回顾了通过固体碳源的石墨烯生长。
