Abstract
Membrane separation stands as an environmentally friendly, high permeance and selectivity, low energy demand process that deserves scientific investigation and industrialization. To address intensive demand, seeking appropriate membrane materials to surpass trade-off between permeability and selectivity and improve stability is on the schedule. 2D materials offer transformational opportunities and a revolutionary platform for researching membrane separation process. Especially, the atomically thin graphene with controllable porosity and structure, as well as unique properties, is widely considered as a candidate for membrane materials aiming to provide extreme stability, exponentially large selectivity combined with high permeability. Currently, it has shown promising opportunities to develop separation membranes to tackle bottlenecks of traditional membranes, and it has been of great interest for tremendously versatile applications such as separation, energy harvesting, and sensing. In this review, starting from transport mechanisms of separation, the material selection bank is narrowed down to nanoporous graphene. The study presents an enlightening overview of very recent developments in the preparation of atomically thin nanoporous graphene and correlates surface properties of such 2D nanoporous materials to their performance in critical separation applications. Finally, challenges related to modulation and manufacturing as well as potential avenues for performance improvements are also pointed out.

Abstract
We investigated the band renormalization caused by the compressive-strain-induced lattice mismatch in parallel AA stacked bilayer graphene using two complementary methods: the tight-binding approach and the low-energy continuum theory. While a large mismatch does not alter the low-energy bands, a small one reduces the bandwidth of the low-energy bands along with a decrease in the Fermi velocity. In the tiny-mismatch regime, the low-energy continuum theory reveals that the long-period moiré pattern extensively renormalizes the low-energy bands, resulting in a significant reduction of bandwidth. Meanwhile, the Fermi velocity exhibits an oscillatory behavior and approaches zero at specific mismatches. However, the resulting low-energy bands are not perfectly isolated flat, as seen in twisted bilayer graphene at magic angles. These findings provide a deeper understanding of moiré physics and offer valuable guidance for related experimental studies in creating moiré superlattices using two-dimensional van der Waals heterostructures.

Abstract
Synthesis of large-area uniform bilayer graphene (BLG) with different twisted angles has gathered extensive interest but remains a challenge, hindered by the ubiquitous layer-plus-island growth and the uncontrollable layer rotation. Herein, using real-time surface imaging, film uniformity and stacking structures in BLG were well controlled by a two-step carbon segregation on Ni(111) films following the layer-by-layer growth mode. The aligned first graphene layers formed at 850 °C through a thermodynamics-limit process, followed by decreasing temperatures to grow the second layers, eventually enabling the extremely uniform 15°-twisted BLG at 790 °C and AB-stacked BLG at 720 °C, respectively. Essentially, the growth dynamics is perceived to determine that for the different stacking structures, nonaligned second layers are more kinetically preferable than aligned ones at relatively high temperatures, but the case reverses at low temperatures. This work conveys a fundamental dynamic understanding of the controllable integration of uniform BLG and tuning stacking structures.

Abstract
While cobaloximes have been protagonists in the molecular (photo)catalytic hydrogen evolution reaction field, researchers originally shed light on the catalytically active metallic center. However, the specific chemical environment of cobalt, including equatorial and axial ligation, has also a strong impact on the catalytic reaction. In this article, we aim to demonstrate how pyridine vs. imidazole axial ligation of a cobaloxime complex covalently grafted on graphene affects the hydrogen evolution reaction performance in realistic acidic conditions. While pyridine axial ligation mirrors a drastically superior electrocatalytic performance, imidazole exhibits a remarkable long-term stability.

Abstract
Covalent functionalization of graphene (CFG) has shown attractive advantages in tuning the electronic, mechanical, optical, and thermal properties of graphene. However, facile, large-scale, controllable, and highly efficient CFG remains challenging and often involves highly reactive and volatile compounds, requiring complex control of the reaction conditions. Here, a diazonium-based grafting ink consisting of only two components, i.e., an aryl diazonium salt and the solvent dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is presented. The efficient functionalization is attributed to the combination of the solvation of the diazonium cations by DMSO and n-doping of graphene by DMSO, thereby promoting electron transfer (ET) from graphene to the diazonium cations, resulting in the generation of aryl radicals which subsequently react with the graphene. The grafting density of CFG is controlled by the reaction time and very high levels of functionalization, up to the failing of the Tuinstra-Koenig (T-K) relation, while the functionalization layer remains at monolayer height. The grafting ink, effective for days at room temperature, can be used at ambient conditions and renders the patterning CFG by direct writing as easy as writing on paper. In combination with thermal sample treatment, reversible functionalization is possible by subsequent writing/erasing cycles.

Abstract
As graphene field-effect transistors (GFETs) are becoming increasingly valued for sensor applications, efficiency and control of their surface functionalization become critical. Here, we introduce an innovative method using a gate electrode to precisely modulate aryldiazonium functionalization directly on graphene devices. Although this covalent chemistry is well-known, we show that its spontaneous reaction on GFETs is highly heterogeneous with a low overall yield. By dynamically tuning the gate voltage in the presence of the reactant, we can quickly enable or suppress the reaction, resulting in a high degree of homogeneity between devices. We are also able to monitor and control functionalization kinetics in real time. The mechanism for our approach is based on electron transfer availability, analogous to chemical, substrate-based, or electrochemical doping, but has the practical advantage of being fully implementable on devices or chips. This work illustrates how powerful the FET platforms are to study surface reactions on nanomaterials in real time.

Abstract
Graphene is an ideal material for biosensors due to the large surface area for multiple bonding sites, the high electrical conductivity allowing for high sensitivity, and the high tensile strength providing durability in fabricated sensor devices. For graphene to be successful as a biosensing platform, selectivity must be achieved through functionalization with specific chemical groups. However, the device performance and sensor sensitivity must still be maintained after functionalization, which can be challenging. We compare phenyl amine and 1,5-diaminonaphthalene functionalization methods for chemical vapor deposition grown graphene, both used to obtain graphene modified with amine groups-which is required for surface attachment of highly selective antibody bio-receptors. Through atomic force microscopy (AFM), Raman spectroscopy, and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry imaging of co-located areas, the chemistry, thickness, and coverage of the functional groups bound to the graphene surface have been comprehensively analyzed. We demonstrate the modification of functionalized graphene using AFM, which unexpectedly suggests the removal of covalently bonded functional groups, resulting in a "recovered" graphene structure with reduced disorder, confirmed with Raman spectroscopy. This removal explains the decrease in the ID/IG ratio observed in Raman spectra from other studies on functionalized graphene after mechanical strain or a chemical reaction and reveals the possibility of reverting to the non-functionalized graphene structure. Through this study, preferred functionalization processes are recommended to maintain the performance properties of graphene as a biosensor.

Abstract
The controlled covalent functionalization of the graphene channel of a field effect transistor, based on interdigitated gold electrodes (source and drain), via electrochemical grafting, using specifically designed aryl diazonium species is demonstrated to allow the simple fabrication of a general platform for (bio)sensing applications. The electrochemical grafting of a protected ethynylphenyl diazonium salt leads to the deposition of only a monolayer on the graphene channel. This controlled covalent functionalization of the graphene channel results in a charge mobility of the GFET of 1739 ± 376 cm2 V-1 s-1 and 1698 ± 536 cm2 V-1 s-1 for the holes and electrons, respectively, allowing their utilization as (bio)sensors. After deprotection, a dense and compact ethynylphenyl monolayer is obtained and allows the immobilization of a wide range of (bio)molecules by a "click" chemistry coupling reaction (Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition). This finding opens promising options for graphene-based (bio)sensing applications.

Abstract
The physical and chemical properties of MXenes are strongly dependent on surface terminations; thus, the tailoring of surface functional groups in two-dimensional transition-metal carbides (MXenes) may extend the applicability of these compelling materials to a wider set of fields. In this work, we demonstrate the chemical modification of Ti3C2Tx MXene via diazonium covalent chemistry and the subsequent effects on the electrical properties of MXene. The 4-nitrophenyl group was grafted onto the surface of MXene through a solid-liquid reaction, which was confirmed by various characterization methods, including X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, electron energy loss spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The degree of modification of MXene is expediently tunable by adjusting the concentration of the diazonium salt solution. The work function of functionalized MXene is modifiable by regulating the quantity of grafted diazonium surface groups, with an adjustable range of around 0.6 eV. Further, in this study, the electrical properties of modified MXene are investigated through the fabrication of field-effect-transistor devices that utilize modified MXene as a channel material. It was demonstrated that with increasing concentration of 4-nitrophenyl groups grafted onto the surface the on/off current ratio of the modified MXene was improved to as much as 3.56, with a corresponding decrease in conductivity and mobility. The proposed approach of controlled modification of surface groups in Ti3C2Tx may imbue Ti3C2Tx with favorable electronic behaviors and demonstrate prospects for use in electronic field applications.

Abstract
A new thiosemicarbazone ligand was immobilized through a Cu(I)-catalyzed click reaction on the surface of glassy carbon (GC) and electrochemically reduced graphene oxide (GC-ERGO) electrodes grafted with phenylethynyl groups. Using the accumulation at open circuit followed by anodic stripping voltammetry, the modified electrodes showed a significant selectivity and sensibility for Hg(II) ions. A detection limit of 7 nM was achieved with the GC modified electrodes. Remarkably, GC-ERGO modified electrodes showed a significantly improved detection limit (0.8 nM), sensitivity, and linear range, which we attribute to an increased number of surface binding sites and better electron transfer properties. Both GC and GC-ERGO modified electrodes proved their applicability for the analysis of real water samples.

Abstract
Carbon nanomaterials (CNs) offer some of the most valuable properties for electrochemical biosensing applications, such as good electrical conductivity, wide electrochemical stability, high specific surface area, and biocompatibility. Regardless the envisioned sensing application, endowing CNs with specific functions through controlled chemical functionalization is fundamental for promoting the specific binding of the analyte. As a versatile and straightforward method of surface functionalization, aryldiazonium chemistry have been successfully used to accommodate in a stable and reproducible way different functionalities, while the electrochemical route has become the favourite choice since the deposition conditions can be readily controlled and adapted to the substrate. In particular, the modification of CNs by electrochemical reduction of aryl diazonium salts is established as a powerful tool which allows tailoring the chemical and electronic properties of the sensing platform. By outlining the stimulating results disclosed in the last years, this article provides not only a comprehensively review, but also a rational assessment on contribution of aryldiazonium electrografting in developing CNs-based electrochemical biosensors. Furthermore, some of the emerging challenges to be surpassed to effectively implement this methodology for in vivo and point of care analysis are also highlighted.

Abstract
Chemical functionalisation is one of the most active areas of graphene research, motivated by fundamental science, the opportunities to adjust or supplement intrinsic properties, and the need to assemble materials for a broad array of applications. Historically, the primary consideration has been the degree of functionalisation but there is growing interest in understanding how and where modification occurs. Reactions may proceed preferentially at edges, defects, or on graphitic faces; they may be correlated, uncorrelated, or anti-correlated with previously grafted sites. A detailed collation of existing literature data indicates that steric effects play a strong role in limiting the extent of reaction. However, the pattern of functionalisation may have important effects on the resulting properties. This article addresses the unifying principles of current graphene functionalisation technologies, with emphasis on understanding and controlling the locus of functionalisation.

Abstract
This review provides a critical overview of current developments on nanoelectronic biochemical sensors based on graphene. Composed of a single layer of conjugated carbon atoms, graphene has outstanding high carrier mobility and low intrinsic electrical noise, but a chemically inert surface. Surface functionalization is therefore crucial to unravel graphene sensitivity and selectivity for the detection of targeted analytes. To achieve optimal performance of graphene transistors for biochemical sensing, the tuning of the graphene surface properties via surface functionalization and passivation is highlighted, as well as the tuning of its electrical operation by utilizing multifrequency ambipolar configuration and a high frequency measurement scheme to overcome the Debye screening to achieve low noise and highly sensitive detection. Potential applications and prospectives of ultrasensitive graphene electronic biochemical sensors ranging from environmental monitoring and food safety, healthcare and medical diagnosis, to life science research, are presented as well.

Abstract
The reaction of monolayer graphene with aryl diazonium salts is a popular approach for functionalizing graphene under ambient conditions. We here apply interference reflection microscopy (IRM), a label-free optical technique, to study the in situ reaction dynamics of the representative diazonium reaction of graphene with 4-nitrobenzenediazonium tetrafluoroborate (4-NBD) at high spatiotemporal resolution and further correlate results with atomic force microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and infrared scattering scanning near-field optical microscopy. Interestingly, we find the reaction to be significantly promoted by a low (0.5 W/cm2) level of blue visible light, whereas at the same intensity level, red light has negligible effects on reaction rate. We further report rich spatial heterogeneities for the reaction, including enhanced reactivity at graphene edges and an unexpected flake-to-flake variation in reaction rate. Moreover, we demonstrate direct photopatterning for the 4-NBD functionalization, achieving 400 nm patterning resolution.

Abstract
Multilayer graphene (MLG), obtained by mild sonication of graphite in NMP or pyridine, was fully characterized via atomic force microscopy (AFM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Raman spectroscopy and X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS). Then, it was functionalized via 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition with azomethine ylides generated by thermal 1,2-prototropy of various imino esters. The resulting MLG, containing substituted proline-based amine functions, was characterized by XPS and it showed high nitrogen loading, ranging from 0.6 to 4.2 at% depending on the imino ester used. Among these functionalized MLGs a probe sample was subjected to ester hydrolysis and used as a heterogeneous N,O-chelating ligand to coordinate iridium atomic centers. This supported complex was also characterized by XPS and its catalytic activity was tested in the hydrogen transfer reduction of acetophenone, obtaining up to 85% yield. Furthermore, this catalyst could be recycled up to four times.

Abstract
Reducing friction and increasing lubrication are the goals that every tribologist pursues. Accordingly, layered graphene materials have attracted great research interest in tribology due to their anti-friction, anti-wear and excellent self-lubricating properties. However, recent studies have found that other forms of graphene derivatives not only perform better in tribological and lubricating applications, but also solve the problem of graphene being prone to agglomeration. Based on a large number of reports, herein, we review the research progress on graphene derivatives and their nanocomposites in tribology and lubrication. In the introduction, the topic of the article is introduced by highlighting the hazards and economic losses caused by frictional wear and the excellent performance of graphene materials in the field of lubrication. Then, by studying the classification of graphene materials, the research status of their applications in tribology and lubrication is introduced. The second chapter introduces the application of graphene derivatives in improving tribological properties. The main types of graphene are graphene oxide (GO), doped graphene (doped elements such as nitrogen, boron, phosphorus, and fluorine), graphene-based films, and graphene-based fibers. The third chapter summarizes the application of graphene-based nanocomposites in improving friction and anti-wear and lubrication properties. According to the different functional modifiers, they can be divided into three categories: graphene–inorganic nanocomposites (sulfides, metal oxides, nitrides, metal nanoparticles, and carbon-containing inorganic nanoparticles), graphene–organic nanocomposites (alkylation, amine functionalization, ionic liquids, and surface modifiers), and graphene–polymer nanocomposites (carbon chain polymers and heterochain polymers). Graphene not only exhibits an excellent performance in traditional processing and lubrication applications, but the fourth chapter proves that it has a good application prospect in the field of ultra-low friction and superlubricity. In the application part of the fifth chapter, the lubrication mechanism proposed by graphene as a nano-lubricant is introduced first; then, the main application research status is summarized, including micro-tribology applications, bio-tribology applications, and liquid lubrication additive applications. The last part is based on the following contents. Firstly, the advantages of graphene-based nanocomposites as lubricants and their current shortcomings are summarized. The challenges and prospects of the commercial applications of graphene-based nanocomposites in tribology and lubrication are further described. Recent studies have found that other forms of graphene derivatives perform better in tribological and lubricating applications. This paper reviews the research progress of graphene derivatives and their nanocomposites in tribology and lubrication.![]()

Abstract
With increasing demand of environmentally friendly materials, development on biobased polymers such as polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) is indispensable. An unsaturated PHA, namely, poly(3-hydroxydodecanoate- co-3-hydroxy-9-decenoate), short as P(3HDD- co-3H9D), provides possibilities for functionalization. Two different strategies are explored for synthesis of PHA- graft-graphene nanocomposites with graphene content ranging from 0.2 to 1.5 wt %. Chemical structures of intermediates and products were confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Uniform dispersion of graphene was observed in formed PHA nanocomposites under scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and atomic force microscopy (AFM). PHA- graft-graphene nanocomposites exhibited higher thermal degradation temperature and enhanced electricity conductivity compared with that of neat PHA. Moreover, lower critical filling content and lower electrical resistivity at same graphene content demonstrated enhanced electrical conductivity of PHA- graft-graphene nanocomposites compared with previously reported blends. The lowest electrical resistivity was 2 Ω·m in sample PHA- graft-graphene nanocomposites with approximately 1.5 wt % graphene content.

Abstract
We show that dehydrogenation of hydrogenated graphene proceeds much more slowly for bilayer systems than for single layer systems. We observe that an underlayer of either pristine or hydrogenated graphene will protect an overlayer of hydrogenated graphene against a number of chemical oxidants, thermal dehydrogenation, and degradation in an ambient environment over extended periods of time. Chemical protection depends on the ease of oxidant intercalation, with good intercalants such as Br2 demonstrating much higher reactivity than poor intercalants such as 1,2-dichloro-4,5-dicyanonbenzoquinone (DDQ). Additionally, the rate of dehydrogenation of hydrogenated graphene at 300 °C in H2/Ar was reduced by a factor of roughly 10 in the presence of a protective underlayer of graphene or hydrogenated graphene. Finally, the slow dehydrogenation of hydrogenated graphene in air at room temperature, which is normally apparent after a week, could be completely eliminated in samples with protective underlayers over the course of 39 days. Such protection will be critical for ensuring the long-term stability of devices made from functionalized graphene.

Abstract
Adsorption of gas molecules on the surface of atomically layered two-dimensional (2D) materials, including graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides, can significantly affect their electrical and optical properties. Therefore, a microscopic and quantitative understanding of the mechanism and dynamics of molecular adsorption and desorption has to be achieved in order to advance device applications based on these materials. However, recent theoretical calculations have yielded contradictory results, particularly on the magnitude of the adsorption energy. Here, we have experimentally determined the adsorption energy of oxygen molecules on graphene and 2D tungsten disulfide using temperature-programmed terahertz (THz) emission microscopy (TPTEM). The temperature dependence of THz emission from InP surfaces covered with 2D materials reflects the change in oxygen concentration due to thermal desorption, which we used to estimate the adsorption energy of oxygen molecules on graphene (~0.15 eV) and tungsten disulphide (~0.24 eV). Furthermore, we used TPTEM to visualize relative changes in the spatial distribution of oxygen molecules on monolayer graphene during adsorption and desorption. Our results provide much insight into the mechanism of molecular adsorption on the surface of 2D materials, while introducing TPTEM as a novel and powerful tool for molecular surface science.

Abstract
The potential of rising two-dimensional materials, such as graphene, can be substantially expanded through chemistry. However, it has been a challenge to study how chemical reactions of two-dimensional materials progress. Existing techniques offer limited signal contrast and/or spatial-temporal resolution and are difficult to apply to in situ studies. Here we employ an optical approach, namely interference reflection microscopy, to quantitatively monitor the redox reaction dynamics of graphene and graphene oxide (GO) in situ with diffraction-limited (∼300 nm) spatial resolution and video-rate time resolution. Remarkably, we found that the oxidation kinetics of graphene is characterized by a seeded, autocatalytic process that gives rise to unique, wave-like propagation of reaction in two dimensions. The reaction is initially slow and confined to highly localized, nanoscale hot spots associated with structural defects, but then self-accelerates while propagating outward, hence flower-like, micrometer-sized reaction patterns over the entire sample. In contrast, the reduction of GO is spatially homogeneous and temporally pseudo-first-order, and through in situ data, we further identify pH as a key reaction parameter.

Abstract
A network structure consisting of nanomaterials with a stable structural support and charge path on a large area is desirable for various electronic and optoelectronic devices. Generally, network structures have been fabricated via two main strategies: (1) assembly of pre-grown nanostructures onto a desired substrate and (2) direct growth of nanomaterials onto a desired substrate. In this study, we utilized the surface defects of graphene to form a nano-network of ZnO via atomic layer deposition (ALD). The surface of pure and structurally perfect graphene is chemically inert. However, various types of point and line defects, including vacancies/adatoms, grain boundaries, and ripples in graphene are generated by growth, chemical or physical treatments. The defective sites enhance the chemical reactivity with foreign atoms. ZnO nanoparticles formed by ALD were predominantly deposited at the line defects and agglomerated with increasing ALD cycles. Due to the formation of the ZnO nano-network, the photocurrent between two electrodes was clearly changed under UV irradiation as a result of the charge transport between ZnO and graphene. The line patterned ZnO/graphene (ZnO/G) nano-network devices exhibit sensitivities greater than ten times those of non-patterned structures. We also confirmed the superior operation of a fabricated flexible photodetector based on the line patterned ZnO/G nano-network.

Abstract
The possible origins of metal-bilayer graphene (BLG) contact resistance are investigated by taking into consideration the bandgap formed by interfacial charge transfer at the metal contacts. Our results show that a charge injection barrier (Schottky barrier) does not contribute to the contact resistance because the BLG under the contacts is always degenerately doped. We also showed that the contact-doping-induced increase in the density of states (DOS) of BLG under the metal contacts decreases the contact resistance owing to enhanced charge carrier tunnelling at the contacts. The contact doping can be enhanced by inserting molecular dopant layers into the metal contacts. However, carrier tunnelling through the insertion layer increases the contact resistance, and thus, alternative device structures should be employed. Finally, we showed that the inter-band transport by variable range hopping via in-gap states is the largest contributor to contact resistance when the carrier type of the gated channel is opposite to the contact doping carrier type. This indicates that the strategy of contact resistance reduction by the contact-doping-induced increase in the DOS is effective only for a single channel transport branch (n- or p-type) depending on the contact doping carrier type.

Abstract
AbstractThe single carbon layer graphene and especially its oxidized derivatives, such as graphene oxide (GO), are in the focus of research that started already 150 years ago [1–6]. GO is a collective term for various single layers of graphene (with lattice defects) functionalized by oxo-addends. The type of oxo-groups is not defined, but epoxy and hydroxyl groups dominate the structure in addition to in-plane lattice defects on the percent scale. Those defects are rarely considered in chemical functionalization approaches and it is impossible to distinguish between functionalization of surface oxo-groups and in-plane oxo-groups.This chapter focuses on functionalized derivatives of graphene with an almost intact carbon framework, termed “oxo-functionalized graphene” (oxo-G1, index indicates the number of layers). Avoiding in-plane defects further allows the development of a controlled chemistry of graphene with oxo-addends. However, general approaches of conventional GO chemistry are summarized in a separate section.

Abstract
Recent research trends now offer new opportunities for developing the next generations of label-free biochemical sensors using graphene and other two-dimensional materials. While the physics of graphene transistors operated in electrolyte is well grounded, important chemical challenges still remain to be addressed, namely the impact of the chemical functionalizations of graphene on the key electrical parameters and the sensing performances. In fact, graphene - at least ideal graphene - is highly chemically inert. The functionalizations and chemical alterations of the graphene surface - both covalently and non-covalently - are crucial steps that define the sensitivity of graphene. The presence, reactivity, adsorption of gas and ions, proteins, DNA, cells and tissues on graphene have been successfully monitored with graphene. This review aims to unify most of the work done so far on biochemical sensing at the surface of a (chemically functionalized) graphene field-effect transistor and the challenges that lie ahead. The authors are convinced that graphene biochemical sensors hold great promise to meet the ever-increasing demand for sensitivity, especially looking at the recent progresses suggesting that the obstacle of Debye screening can be overcome.

Abstract
Development of applications for graphene are currently hampered by its poor dispersion in common, low boiling point solvents. Covalent functionalization is considered as one method for addressing this challenge. To date, approaches have tended to focus upon producing the graphene and functionalizing subsequently. Herein, we describe simultaneous electrochemical exfoliation and functionalization of graphite using diazonium salts at a single applied potential for the first time. Such an approach is advantageous, compared to postfunctionalization of premade graphene, as both functionalization and exfoliation occur at the same time, meaning that monolayer or few-layer graphene can be functionalized and stabilized in situ before they aggregate. Furthermore, the N2 generated during in situ diazonium reduction is found to aid the separation of functionalized graphene sheets. The degree of graphene functionalization was controlled by varying the concentration of the diazonium species in the exfoliation solution. The formation of functionalized graphene was confirmed using Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The functionalized graphene was soluble in aqueous systems, and its solubility was 2 orders of magnitude higher than the nonfunctionalized electrochemically exfoliated graphene sheets. Moreover, the functionalization enhanced the charge storage capacity when used as an electrode in supercapacitor devices with the specific capacitance being highly dependent on the degree of graphene functionalization. This simple method of in situ simultaneous exfoliation and functionaliztion may aid the processing of graphene for various applications.

Abstract
The nanoscale, multiplexed functionalization of graphene in a device array is a critical step to realize graphene-based chemical and biosensors. We demonstrate that graphene can be functionalized with submicron resolution and in well-defined locations and patterns using reaction agents in attoliter quantities, utilizing dip-pen nanolithography or microchannel cantilever spotting. Specifically, we functionalize graphene with a biotin azide using click-chemistry and demonstrate the subsequent binding of fluorescently tagged streptavidin. The technique can be scaled up to multiplex functionalize graphene devices on a wafer-scale for sensor and biomedical applications.

Abstract
Methods that reliably yield monolayers of covalently anchored modifiers on graphene and other planar graphitic materials are in demand. Covalently bonded groups can add functionality to graphitic carbon for applications ranging from sensing to supercapacitors and can tune the electronic and optical properties of graphene. Limiting modification to a monolayer gives a layer with well-defined concentration and thickness providing a minimum barrier to charge transfer. Here we investigate the use of anthranilic acid derivatives for grafting aryl groups to few layer graphene and pyrolyzed photoresist film (PPF). Under mild conditions, anthranilic acids generate arynes, which undergo Diels-Alder cycloadditions. Using spectroscopy, electrochemistry, and atomic force microscopy, we demonstrate that the reaction yields monolayers of aryl groups on graphene and PPF with maximum surface coverages consistent with densely packed layers. Our study confirms that anthranilic acids offer a convenient route to covalent modification of planar graphitic carbons (both basal and edge plane materials).

Abstract
We present a novel measurement approach which combines the electrical characterization of solution-gated field-effect transistors based on epitaxial bilayer graphene on 4H-SiC (0001) with simultaneous Raman spectroscopy. By changing the gate voltage, we observed Raman signatures related to the resonant electron-phonon coupling. An analysis of these Raman bands enabled the extraction of the geometrical capacitance of the system and an accurate calculation of the Fermi levels for bilayer graphene. An intentional application of higher gate voltages allowed us to trigger electrochemical reactions, which we followed in situ by Raman spectroscopy. The reactions showed a partially reversible character, as indicated by an emergence/disappearance of peaks assigned to C-H and Si-H vibration modes as well as an increase/decrease of the defect-related Raman D band intensity. Our setup provides a highly interesting platform for future spectroelectrochemical research on electrically-induced sorption processes of graphene on the micrometer scale.

Abstract
Cyclic voltammograms for the reduction of aryldiazonium ions at glassy carbon electrodes are often, but not always, reported to show two peaks. The origin of this intriguing behavior remains controversial. Using 4-nitrobenzenediazonium ion (NBD), the most widely studied aryldiazonium salt, we make a detailed examination of the electroreduction processes in acetonitrile solution. We confirm that deposition of film can occur during both reduction processes. Film thickness measurements using atomic force microscopy reveal that multilayer films of very similar thickness are formed when reduction is carried out at either peak, even though the film formed at the more negative potential is significantly more blocking to solution redox probes. These and other aspects of the electrochemistry are consistent with the operation of a surface-catalyzed reduction step (proceeding at a clean surface only) followed by an uncatalyzed reduction at a more negative potential. The catalyzed reduction proceeds at both edge-plane and basal-plane graphite materials, suggesting that particular carbon surface sites are not required. The unusual aspect of aryldiazonium ion electrochemistry is that unlike other surface-catalyzed reactions, both processes are seen in a single voltammetric scan at an initially clean electrode because the conditions for observing the uncatalyzed reaction are produced by film deposition during the first catalyzed reduction step.

Abstract
The utilization of grown or deposited graphene on solid substrates offers key benefits for functionalization processes, but especially to attain structures with a high level of control for electronics and "smart" materials. In this review, we will initially focus on the nature and properties of graphene on substrates, based on the method of preparation. We will then analyze the most relevant literature on the functionalization of graphene on substrates. In particular, we will comparatively discuss radical reactions, cycloadditions, halogenations, hydrogenations, and oxidations. We will especially address the question of how the reactivity of graphene is affected by its morphology (i.e., number of layers, defects, substrate, curvature, etc.).
