Graphene-Based Materials
1. Introduction
Graphene is a 2D single layer of carbon atoms with
the hexagonal packed structure.[1,2] The carbon bonds are
sp2 hybridized, where the in-plane C-C bond is one of the
strongest bonds in materials and the out-of-plane bond,
which contributes to a delocalized network of electrons, is
responsible for the electron conduction of graphene and provides the weak interaction among graphene layers or between
graphene and substrate. With these unique structural characteristics, graphene has shown exceptional physical properties,
which have attracted enormous research interest in both scientific and engineering communities.[317]
One of the most remarkable properties of graphene is
that its charge carriers behave as massless relativistic particles or Dirac fermions, and under ambient conditions they
can move with little scattering. This unique behavior has
led to a number of exceptional phenomena in graphene.[18]
First, graphene is a zero-bandgap 2D semiconductor with
a tiny overlap between valence and conduction bands.[18]
Second, it exhibits a strong ambipolar electric field effect so
that the charge carrier concentrations of up to 1013 cm2 and
room-temperature mobilities of 10 000 cm2 s1 are measured.[18] Third, an unusual half-integer quantum Hall effect
(QHE) for both electron and hole carriers in graphene has
been observed by adjusting the chemical potential using the
electric field effect.[19,20] In addition, graphene is highly transparent, with an absorption of 2.3% towards visible light.[6]
Its thermal conductivity, k, is measured with a value of
5000 W mK1 for a single-layer sheet at room temperature.[21]
Graphene also possesses the excellent mechanical strength.
The intrinsic mechanical properties of free-standing monolayer
graphene membranes were measured by nano-indentation
in an atomic force microscope.[3] The breaking strength
is 42 N m1 and the Young's modulus is 1.0 TPa, indicating it
is one of the strongest materials ever measured.
Up until now, versatile methods have been developed for
fabrication, growth, or synthesis of graphene and its derivatives. In graphite, the adjacent graphene layers are bound
by weak van der Waals forces.[22] Therefore, the pristine
graphene can be obtained from the mechanical exfoliation
of graphite using adhesive tapes.[14,18] The bottom-up growth
of graphene sheets is an alternative to the mechanical exfoliation of bulk graphite. Chemical vapor deposition (CVD)
has been used to grow single- and few-layer graphene
sheets on metal surfaces, such as Ni and Cu.[8,2356] Largearea epitaxial graphene films up to a few micrometers in
size can be subsequently transferred to other substrates.
Carbon segregation can also become graphene layers on
carbon-containing substrates, such as SiC,[5772] through hightemperature annealing. However, these methods are impractical for large-scale solution-based processes. Therefore, the
oxidation and exfoliation of graphite oxide, followed by the
chemical reduction,[73] has been used to prepare reduced
graphene oxide (rGO) sheets[74116] or chemically functionalized graphene (CFG). This is one of the most developed
methods in the literature, and several types of reduction
agents have been reported, such as hydrazine,[7486,9093]

2. Graphene-Based Materials
Pristine graphene is a hydrophobic material, and has
no appreciable solubility in most solvents. Nevertheless,
the processing of graphene composites concerns itself
foremost with the solubilization of graphene. To improve
the solubility of graphene, different functional groups
have been attached to the carbon backbone by chemical
modification,[73,101,270,271] covalent,[272296] or noncovalent
functionalization.[74,77,152,287,289,290,293,297306]
It is impossible to directly disperse hydrophobic graphite
flakes or graphene sheets in water without the assistance
of dispersing agents. Because of the presence of oxygencontaining groups, the chemically reduced graphene oxide
(rGO), or so called chemically modified graphene, can form
the homogeneous aqueous suspension by controlled reduction of graphene oxide (GO) with hydrazine and dialysis
while maintaining the pH of the solution at about 10 by the
addition of amonia.[73] However, the resulting solubility of
rGO in water is very limited, with a value of <0.5 mg/mL.[73]
Besides water, a number of organic solvents, such as
ethanol, acetone, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), and tetrahydrofuran (THF), can be used to give suspensions of highly
reduced GO sheets, when mixed with dimethyl formamide
(DMF) and water in a volume ratio of 90:9:1 for (the added
solvent):DMF:water.[101]
Metal ions and functional groups have been used to
modify rGO sheets as well. The sequential chemical reaction
of GO sheets in water with KOH and then with hydrazine
has shown to produce K-modified graphene (hKMG) sheets,
which can lead to a homogeneous aqueous suspension.[270] In
addition, p-phenyl-SO3H groups were introduced on GO, and
after reduction the lightly sulfonated rGO can be readily dispersed in water at reasonable concentrations (2 mg/mL) in
the pH range of 3 to 10.[271]
Covalent modification of graphene involves the reaction
of functional molecules and the oxygenated groups on the
GO or rGO surface, such as carboxyl groups at the periphery,
and epoxy, hydroxyl, and C=C groups in the basal plane

In addition, biomolecules have been involved in the functionalization process of graphene based on the van der Waals
force, such as using single-strand DNA (ssDNA) to stabilize
aqueous suspensions of single-layer graphene sheets.[299]

matrix is expected to significantly enhance the thermal conduction of the composite. Thermally exfoliated graphite nanoplatelets were incorporated in an epoxy matrix. It was found
that the introduction of few-layer graphene (layer number:
4) resulted in a thermal conductivity enhancement of more
than 30 times at k = 6.44 W/mK with a loading of 25 vol%
of graphene.[316] This result outperforms conventional fillers,
such as silver, alumina, and silica, which require 5070%
loading to achieve a similar result. In addition, when FGSs
were added as the filler in silicon foam matrix, 0.25 wt% of
loading had led to a 6% increase in the ultimate thermal conductivity.[325] The large aspect ratio, 2D geometry, high stiffness, and low thermal interface resistance of graphene have
caused the enhanced thermal conductivity in these reports.
Such composite foams with excellent heat dissipation property are advantageous for coatings on electrical wires to eliminate conductive heat.

groups present in GO compared to rGO. Similar phenomenon is also reported in the GO/rGO templated growth of
Ni nanocrystals, where the higher degree of oxidation of
graphene sheets has led to larger nucleation density of Ni
NPs.[370]
As discussed above, the surface chemistry of chemically modified graphene can affect the nucleation density of
anchored metal NPs,[81] whereas the lattice atomic structure
of rGO can direct the assembly and pattern formation of
Au NDs.[87] In addition to these observations, the number of
pristine graphene layers also showed a direct impact on the
particle size and density of thermally evaporated Au NPs,[375]
i.e., the particle size decreased and density increased with
increasing layer numbers of the graphene film (Figure 3C,D).
Two factors have been considered to cause this interesting
phenomenon. First, the surface free energy of graphene is
dependent on the layer number, which controls the interaction between graphene and the evaporated Au atoms.
Second, the diffusion coefficient of Au atoms varies on different surfaces, which determines the outcome of the competition between nucleation and growth of the Au islands.[375]
It is also suggested that, the different densities and sizes of
NPs observed in SEM could be used to identify the layer
numbers of graphene, which might give an alternative to

transconductance. Therefore, a dense array of ordered nanoribbons is desirable, which, however, remains a significant
challenge. Alternatively, another type of graphene nanostructures, called graphene nanomesh (GNM)[182,183] or nanoperforated graphene,[184] was developed, which not only opens
the bandgap of graphene but also provides
high driving current. With block copolymer
lithography, the fabricated GNMs could
have variable periodicities with a neck
width as small as 5 nm. The FETs fabricated with GNM as the channel material,
referred to as GNM-FETs, can support
currents 100 times greater than individual
GNR devices, while the onoff ratio, which
can be tuned by varying the neck width,
is comparable with that achieved in individual GNR devices (Figure 5). Additionally, the block copolymer lithography is
scalable, and allows for the rational design
and fabrication of GNM-FET devices with
standard semiconductor processing.
3.2. Memory Devices
Graphene-related
materials
have
also been widely explored in memory
devices.[222] It was demonstrated theoretically by Gunlycke et al. that when
the graphene nanostrips are under a
non-equilibrium state, e.g., in the presence of a ballistic current, both spinpolarized and spin-unpolarized nanostrip
states exist, which could be switched
through the applied bias in a binary
memory device. After that, extensive
experimental investigations on graphenerelated memory devices were carried
out, based on pristine graphene,[217]

as light absorbers (sensitizers) and to replace the traditionally used ruthenium complexes in nanocrystalline TiO2 solar
cells. However, the resulting energy conversion performance is not high, which requires improvement by covalently
binding functional groups to the QDs for higher charge injection, or optimizing the preparation procedure for the electrode. Nevertheless, this solubilization strategy opens exciting
opportunities to tune the optical and electronic properties of
graphene for photovoltaics.

A hybrid material of rGO and Au NPantibody conjugates has also been employed as the channel material for
protein detection.[94] The target protein immunoglobulin G
(IgG) interacts specifically with the anti-IgG-conjugated Au
NPs, resulting in the change of electrical characteristics of the
device. A detection limit of 2 ng/mL IgG is achieved, which
is among the lowest detection limit for carbon-nanomaterialbased sensors.
3.4.2. Electrochemical Sensors
Graphene-based materials possess large specific surface area, excellent conductivity, and availability for surface functionalization, which are important characteristics
in the electrochemical applications.[449] Until now, many
graphene-based electrochemical sensors have been reported
to detect glucose,[119,265,344,348,371,450460] ascorbic acid,[461463]
dopamine,[462470] H2O2,[343,372] DNA,[257] DNA bases,[259] and
antigen.[471] It has been shown that graphene and graphenebased materials are promising supplements or replacements
for conventional carbon materials, such as carbon nanotubes
and graphite.[472] Even superior performance of graphenebased electrochemical sensors compared to carbon nanotubes has been reported, which is attributed to the presence
of more sp2-like planes and edge defects in graphene.[462,464]
In a typical set up of electrochemical sensing, a graphene
thin film is used as the electrode.[462,466] For example, the
epitaxially grown graphene is prepared on a silicon carbide
substrate by the CVD process, and then incorporated as the
working electrode in a three-electrode electrochemical cell.
Anodization is used to generate oxygenated groups on the
surface of graphene. It is shown that the resulting sensing
platform exhibits good detection ability towards nucleic acids,
uric acids, dopamine, and ascorbic acid, as well as to differentiate single-stranded DNA from double-stranded DNA.[466]
In another report, by using a microwave plasma-enhanced
CVD method, graphene nanoflakes are grown on silicon substrates, which are used to simultaneously detect dopamine,
ascorbic acide, and uric acide. The graphene flakes process
abundant graphitic edge planes and defects, which are essentially responsible for the fast electron transfer and good electrocatalytic activity observed in this work.[462]
In addition to the direct use of graphene as the working
electrode, graphene or graphene derivatives have been
used to modify the conventional glassy carbon electrode[119,257,265,451,465] and Au electrode.[259] The glassy carbon
electrode is usually functionalized with APTES, which contains the positively charged amine groups to absorb GO
sheets. The adsorbed GO sheets, electrochemically reduced to
rGO, are further modified with, for example, glucose oxidase
(GOx) used for glucose detection.[119] Recently, we have used
rGO-modified glassy carbon electrode to detect methicillinresistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) DNA by using the
electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The detection limit
of 100 fm for MRSA DNA is achieved.[257] The modification
of glass carbon electrode can also be carried out by directly
drop-casting a rGO suspension[451] or a mixed slurry of rGO
solution and polymer (e.g., chitosan) on the electrode surface.[265] In the latter case, the rGO is further treated with

the detection process, a target molecule (i.e., the complementary ssDNA), hybridizes with the dye-labeled DNA to form
dsDNA, leading to restoration of the dye's fluorescence.[475]
The prepared platform is used to detect HIV-1 target DNA
and human thrombin, resulting in good selectivity and sensitivity of the detection. By replacing GO with rGO in a
similarly constructed sensing platform, detection of thrombin
with high sensitivity and excellent specificity is also achieved.
The reported detection limit of 31.3 pm is two orders magnitude lower than that detected by CNT-based florescent
sensors.[264]
In a different approach, GO is complexed with a watersoluble and positively charged organic dye, 4-(1-pyrenylvinyl)-N-butylpyridinium bromide (PNPB), through ion
exchange. The fluorescence of the dye is quenched upon the
formation of PNP+GO complex. The quenched fluorescence
will be turned on, if the dye can interact with an analyte more
strongly than does with GO. Amongst several tested target
molecules, DNA is able to complex with the dye to form the
PNP+DNA complex, and the dye leaves from the GO surface to switch on the fluorescence. But other molecules, such
as RNA, glucose, and proteins, do not show a similar effect.
Therefore, the PNP+GO-based DNA sensing platform is
highly selective over a broad range of common surfactants
and biomolecules.[474]
Another strategy for graphene-based fluorescence sensing
is based on the photoluminescent property of GO itself.[478479]
As reported recently, GO exhibits the near-UV to blue fluorescence,[149,480] which originates from the recombination
of electronhole pairs, localized within the small sp2 carbon
domains embedded in the carbonoxygen sp3 matrix.[149]
Based on this feature of GO, an immune-biosensor system
has been developed. In this work, after GO sheets are patterned on an amino-modified glass surface, antibodies of the
target rotavirus are immobilized on the GO sheets through a
carbodiimide-assisted amidation reaction. At the same time,
an antibody (Ab)-DNA-Au NP complex is synthesized in
solution, which can selectively bind to the target rotavirus
attached to the GO surface (Figure 9AC). Once the binding
