Graphene is a single-layer of carbon atoms forming hexagonal structures connected by sp2 bonds. It has drawn great interest in industry because it possesses extraordinary mechanical, electronic, and thermal properties. However, the fact that it exhibits a band gap of zero and its hydrophobicity requ...
