Oligothiophenes on CVD graphene grown on multi-crystalline copper foil: supramolecular assembly and impact of morphology†
Abstract
On graphene grown on copper foil, oligothiophenes form identical supramolecular assemblies on different copper facets. Most importantly, we found that the graphene ripple structures, even with a height as small as ∼0.5 nm, can significantly alter the molecule–substrate interaction, which has never been observed previously.
