Synthesis of Multi‐Functional Graphene Monolayers via Bipolar Electrochemistry

Abstract: Graphene has gained substantial research interest in many fields due to its remarkable properties among many other two‐dimensional materials. In this study, we propose a wireless electrochemical approach, bipolar electrochemistry, for the precise modification of single layers of graphene at predefined locations, such as distinct edges or corners, with a variety of metals or polymers, thus enabling the elaboration of multi‐functional monolayer graphene sheets. We illustrate the concept e. g. by depositing multiple metals, or platinum and a catalyst‐containing porous polymer on the same graphene sheet, but at separate corners. This configuration allows activating chemiluminescence on the polymer spot, and simultaneously generates the driving force for autonomous motion on the Pt side through the catalytic decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into oxygen bubbles. This integration of different chemical features on the same object, exemplified by these proof‐of‐principle experiments, enhances the functionality of two‐dimensional materials, paving the way for the use of these hybrid materials for a variety of applications, ranging from sensing and catalysis to targeted delivery.
