Electrokinetic properties such as the mobility, surface charge, and zeta potential of sub-millimeter particles are vital parameters in various industrial applications. Their measurement and control in aqueous media have been extensively studied. However, despite their growing importance, the electrokinetic properties of organic solvents have not been studied as thoroughly as those of aqueous media.

Most studies have extensively focused on chemical aspects either through experiments or computational studies. However, gas-phase dynamics in CVD reportedly plays an important role in improving graphene quality.

Thus, here we report on our study of few-layer graphene grown by flame deposition. A horizontal CVD reactor was modified for the synthesis of flame deposition of few-layer graphene on a Cu substrate.
