Abstract
With properties such as high surface area, high conductivity and low production cost with easy up-scaling graphene-like materials are promising for many applications [1-4],one important feature of chemical derivatives of graphene is the possiblility of surface functionalization. For most system such modification is done on graphene oxide a material devoid of the fantastic electronic properties of graphene some of these electronic properties can be partially regenerated by reduction to RGO [5].
This result in a post modification reduction step which some chemically sensitive functionalization cannot handle, therefore we have developed a procedure for high surface concentration functionalization of the RGO surface post reduction through chemically mild procedure “click-chemistry”.
In our work we have synthesizedazide functionalized RGO. This material offers highly reduced RGO with possibility of post-reduction functionalization through Copper(I)-catalyzed Azide-Alkyne Cycloaddition (CuAAC) “click-chemistry” tested on numerous complex and fragile systems [6].
