Abstract

We report a one-step, low-pressure, chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process to obtain a three-dimensional (3D) carbon architecture consisting of vertically aligned carbon nanofiber arrays on multi-layered graphene films. The morphology and structure of the hybrid materials grown on transmission electron microscopy copper grids have been determined by electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy.
