A facile strategy to prepare functionalized graphene via intercalation, grafting and self-exfoliation of graphite oxide

Abstract

A facile method of successive intercalation, grafting and exfoliation of graphite oxide in monomers by γ-ray irradiation to obtain functionalized graphene nanosheets was reported. The monolayer percentage of functionalized graphene nanosheets was sharply increased and the agglomeration showed a significant decrease.
