We investigated the electrochemical grafting of para-N-maleimidophenyl (pMP) onto graphene from the respective diazonium salt (p-(N-Maleimido)benzenediazonium tetrafluoroborate, pMPDT) by electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM), Raman- and infrared spectroscopies.
The p-MP is well known to react with any SH-group present in solution and is therefore a possible candidate to build up bio-sensing devices which, in combination with graphene, are very stable and conductive systems that can be transferred to any substrate. The sample preparation was performed by a transfer of CVD grown large area graphene [1] to an isolating layer of SiNx on Au-coated QCM chips. Using graphene as working electrode, the current behavior and the change in the resonant frequency of the EQCM reflect the electrochemical reduction of the diazonium compound. Raman and infrared spectroscopies reveal the binding of pMP onto the graphene layer. The charge used for the reduction of pMPDT correlates to the amount of grafted pMP and the observed defect density of graphene. Finally the pMP functionalized graphene surface was tested by reaction with 4-Nitrobenzenethiol.
