Graphene reinforced materials and related methods of manufacture

A method of forming a graphene scroll, the method comprising:

• inserting a catalyst substrate into a chemical vapor deposition chamber, the catalyst substrate being a sheet material of freestanding metal foil;
• annealing the catalyst substrate in hydrogen gas within the chemical vapor deposition chamber;
• and
• exposing the annealed catalyst substrate to a reaction gas mixture including a hydrocarbon;
• synthesizing graphene from the reaction gas mixture following the exposure of the annealed catalyst substrate to the reaction gas mixture;
• detaching the annealed catalyst substrate from the synthesized graphene;
• and
• consolidating the synthesized graphene by floating the synthesized graphene on a solution and rolling the synthesized graphene onto itself to form a cylindrical multi-wall graphene scroll having a spiral cross-section, wherein the synthesized graphene is a non-hydrogenated graphene layer at least during consolidation into the multi-wall graphene scroll.
