Preparation of graphene/tetrathiafulvalene nanocomposite switchable surfaces

Abstract

A one step process for simultaneous reduction and functionalization of graphene oxide using tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) is described. Chemical oxidation of TTF to TTF2+ using an aqueous solution of Fe(ClO4)3 expels the charged molecule from the graphene nanosheets, while subsequent immersion in neutral TTF solution allows the capture of the TTF molecules.
