Flake graphite is used as carbon source and ZnO or ZnS as catalyst in the synthesis of high-quality graphene sheets. A catalytic growth mechanism for cathode-part graphene synthesis in the arc-discharge apparatus and an exfoliation mechanism for wall-part graphene synthesis are introduced. N-doped cathode-part graphene and undoped wall-part graphene are formed simultaneously.
