Novel routes towards the chemical functionalization of graphenoid and graphene: Janus nanomembranesZhikun Zheng1, Christoph Nottbohm1, •Andrey Turchanin1, Heiko Muzik1, André Beyer1, Mike Heilemann1, Markus Sauer2, and Armin Gölzhäuser11Fakultät für Physik, Universität Bielefeld — 2Biotechnology & Biophysics, Julius-Maximilians-University Würzburg

The chemical functionalization of graphene is essential for the use in molecular sensors or nanoelectromechanical components. However, a functionalization is difficult to achieve for graphene single crystals due to their chemical inertness. Here we present a route towards the chemical functionalization of graphenoid carbon nanomembranes fabricated from self-assembled monolayers. These 1 nm thick membranes possess amino functionalities on their top sides and thiol functionalities on their bottom sides. It is demonstrated how such two-dimensional (2D) "Janus membranes" can be used for the selective immobilizations of functional molecules. As a proof of concept, we functionalized both sides with different fluorescent dyes. The functionalization is observed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and fluorescence resonant energy transfer. The potential of Janus nanomembranes as a 2D-platform for the chemical functionalization of graphene is discussed.
