Selective Chemical Modification of Graphene surfaces: Distinction between Single and Bilayer Graphene
arXiv:1001.2732 · doi:10.1002/smll.200902370
Abstract
Graphene modifications with oxygen or hydrogen are well known in contrast to carbon attachment to the graphene lattice. The chemical modification of graphene sheets with aromatic diazonium ions (carbon attachment) is analyzed by confocal Raman spectroscopy. The temporal and spatial evolution of surface adsorbed species allowed accurate tracking of the chemical reaction and identification of intermediates. The controlled transformation of sp2 to sp3 carbon proceeds in two separate steps. The presented derivatization is selective for single layer graphene and allows controlled transformation of adsorbed diazonium reagents into covalently bound surface derivatives with enhanced reactivity at the edge of single layer graphene. On bi-layer graphene the derivatization proceeds to an adsorbed intermediate without further reaction to form a covalent attachment on the carbon surface.
