Influence of Surface Functionalization on the Growth of Gold Nanostructures on Graphene Thin Films

Abstract: We developed a surface-chemistry-based approach to investigating the influence of surface functionalization on the growth of gold nanostructures on graphene thin films by utilizing various pyrene derivatives presenting different functional groups. Among the surface-modifying molecules, decylpyrene (DP) yielded the highest content of gold rods (average 22 +/- 4%) among gold nanostructures on graphene films when a graphene surface was pretreated with DP prior to gold nanostructure growth. The improved yield of g… Show more

“…3, the Raman spectrum of the pristine CNTs consisted of two intense peaks at 1344 cm -1 and 1582 cm -1 , corresponding to the D and G bands, respectively. The D band constituted a disorderinduced feature originating from the vibrations of the C atoms with dangling bonds, whereas the G band arose from a tangential shear mode in the C atoms that corresponded to the stretching mode in the graphite plane [25,26]. The D/G band intensity ratio (I D /I G ) was linearly related to the inverse of the in-plane crystallite dimensions.…”

“…A combination of these two methods is a seed-mediated growth of small particles attached to the graphene surface, which improves control over the particle formation process. The majority of studies on nanoparticle/graphene composites perform the synthesis stem in bulk solution (Jasuja and Berry 2009; Lee et al 2011;Liu et al 2012;Muszynski et al 2008) with only a few in situ growth observations at the solid-liquid (Kim et al 2010). …”
