We have investigated the electrochemical grafting of CVD grown large area graphene, as grown on copper, by p-(N-maleimido)phenyl residues from the respective diazonium salt (p (N maleimido)phenylbenzenediazonium tetrafluoroborate). The samples were characterized using Raman backscattering and infrared spectroscopic ellipsometry measurements, both prior and after transfer to a thin gold film on silicon. Optical simulations of the C=O vibrations were performed, determining the thickness of the functional layer to approximately 4 nm, showing the possibility of a lossless transfer. Furthermore, AFM-IR experiments were performed to confirm both the thickness and homogeneity of the maleimido layer. To prove the reactivity of the p-(N-maleimido)phenyl layer, the Michael addition of a thiol was monitored via IR-microscopy. Considering the variety of possible diazonium cations, this opens the possibility to the use of modified graphene as tailored modular building block for facile and specific surface functionalization.
