Compositions of matter and methods of producing a carbonized cloth for growth of graphene nano-petals

A method for growing graphene petals comprising:

• using a fiber based cloth as a base material, the fiber based cloth comprising one or more fibers that are not fully carbon;
• introducing the fiber based cloth into a plasma process chamber;
• introducing at least one reactant gas into the plasma process chamber with a predetermined proportion of flow rates and pressure;
• and
• enabling plasma with a power level at or between 500 to 5000 Watts to carbonize at least a surface of the not fully carbon fibers within the plasma process chamber such that graphene petals grow on the carbonized surface of the fibers.

A composition of matter comprising:

• a cellulose cloth base comprising one or more fibers woven together;
• wherein a first a portion of the cellulose cloth base is carbonized, has an electrical conductivity that is greater than an electrical conductivity of a non-carbonized cellulose cloth, and comprises graphene petals grown on one or more carbonized surfaces thereof;
• and
• wherein a second portion of the cellulose cloth base is not fully carbonized.
