Graphene powders were produced by microwave-plasma synthesis and sonicated into ethanol or water with carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) or di-n-dodecyl dimethylammonium bromide (DDDA) stabilizers. Using ultrasonic spray coating or Langmuir deposition, thin films were deposited on sapphire and characterized by SEM, Raman spectroscopy, and transport measurements. Water-based CMC dispersions produced the most uniform films. Raman spectra showed good structural quality (judged by the intensity ratio I2D/IG ∼ 1.5). CMC-stabilized spray-coated films (0.1 wt%) achieved the highest conductivity (2.5 mS) and mobility (11 cm2/V.s). DDDA films were more porous with lower mobility, while multilayer Langmuir films reached higher mobility (19 cm2/V.s) but reduced conductivity.
