Abstract

In this work we use a chemical approach based on supra-molecular and non-covalent interactions between graphene and 1-pyrenesulfonic acid sodium salt (Py-1SO) to obtain a stable dispersion of graphene by using only water as solvent. The material has been characterized by a combination of spectroscopic and microscopic techniques. In particular, an extensive Raman analysis shows that we have ∼70% few-graphene layers (
