Abstract:
Graphene nanoflakes (GNFs) with average diameters of
30 nm have been prepared by a single-step
oxidation procedure using single-wall carbon nanotube arc-discharge material and nitric acid. The
GNFs are predominately single sheets containing a small number of internal defects. The edges are
decorated with primarily carboxylic acid groups which allow facile chemical functionalisation and
cross-linking of the fragments using multivalent cations
