A straightforward one‐step process was developed, in which CO 2 gas is directly converted into multi‐layer graphene via atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition (APCVD). A bimetallic alloy film based on Cu and Pd was employed as the catalyst and substrate. In this study, we found that the quantity of Cu required for the CO 2 conversion process is high (>82 at %). The findings gained in this study serve as a foundation for further studies of metallic alloys for the thermo‐reduction of CO 2 to graphene under CVD conditions.
