Abstract:
A one step process for simultaneous reduction and functionalization of graphene oxide using tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) is described. Chemical oxidation of TTF to TTF(2+) using an aqueous solution of Fe(ClO(4))(3) expels the charged molecule from the graphene nanosheets, while subsequent immersion in neutral TTF solution allows the capture of the TTF molecules.
