Phenyl radical (Ph.) adsorption on monolayer graphene sheets is used to investigate the band-gap manipulation of graphene through density functional theory. Adsorption of a single Ph. on graphene breaks the aromatic π-bond and generates an unpaired electron, which is delocalized to the ortho or para...
