Graphene, or single-layered graphite, with its high crystallinity and interesting semimetal
electronic properties, has emerged as an exciting two-dimensional material showing great …

Despite intensive research, the mechanism of graphene oxide (GO) formation remains unclear.
The role of interfacial interactions between solid graphite and the liquid reaction medium, …

The existing structural models of graphene oxide (GO) contradict each other and cannot
adequately explain the acidity of its aqueous solutions. Inadequate understanding of chemical …

Graphite oxide (GO) is a lamellar substance with an ambiguous structure due to material
complexity. Recently published GO-related studies employ only one out of several existing …

… Chapter 2, written by Ayrat Dimiev, aims to clarify some … editors, Siegfried Eigler and Ayrat
Dimiev. In aqueous solutions, … In Chapter 6, written by Siegfried Eigler and Ayrat Dimiev, the …

Graphite intercalation compounds (GIC) possess a broad range of unique properties that
are not specific to the parent materials. While the stage transition, changing the number of …

We demonstrate that graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) produced by the oxidative unzipping of
carbon nanotubes can be chemically functionalized by diazonium salts. We show that …

The patterning of graphene is useful in fabricating electronic devices, but existing methods
do not allow control of the number of layers of graphene that are removed. We show that …

Successful application of graphene is hampered by the lack of cost-effective methods for its
production. Here, we demonstrate a method of mass production of graphene nanoplatelets (…

The remaining ambiguity in the chemical structure of graphene oxide (GO) inspires new
research, but also gives rise to numerous misconceptions that are based on the …
