Chemical Functionalization of Graphene via Hyperthermal Molecular ReactionGirjesh Dubey1, Roberto Urcuyo1, Sabine Abb1, Gordon Rinke1, Marko Burghard1, •Stephan Rauschenbach1, and Klaus Kern1,21Max-Planck-Institute for Solid State Research, Stuttgart, Germany — 2Institut de Physique de la Matière Condensée, EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland

Covalent functionalization represents a viable pathway for tailoring graphene’s electronic properties, for instance to open a band-gap. It furthermore enables subsequent chemical coupling for applications in molecular diagnostics and molecular electronics. In this study, chemical vapor deposited (CVD) graphene is covalently functionalized though electrospray ion beam deposition (ES-IBD) of hyperthermal molecular cation beams of 4,4-azobis(pyridine). The one-step, room temperature ion-surface reaction process takes place in high vacuum (10−7 mbar), and requires a threshold kinetic energy of 165 eV of the molecular ions. The covalent attachment of the molecules is proven by the effect of thermal annealing, which removes the intense D peak in the Raman spectrum of the functionalized graphene. Based up X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy data, we conclude that the attached species are azopyridinium groups. A high functionalization degree of 3% of the carbon atoms of graphene is attained after 3-5 hours of ion exposure of 2× 1014 azopyridinium/cm2 of which 50% bind covalently.
