Functionalization of graphene by electrophilic alkylation of reduced graphite

Abstract

The reaction of Na/K-reduced graphite with hexyliodide represents a new, versatile and mild approach to synthesize alkylated graphene derivatives, which were characterized by a combination of Raman spectroscopy, TEM and TGA/MS analysis.
