Abstract
Edge-functionalized graphite (EFG) is prepared via a “direct” covalent attachment of organic molecular wedges. The EFG is dispersed in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone with a concentration as high as 0.27 mg mL−1, leading to high-yield exfoliation of the three-dimensional graphite into two-dimensional graphene-like sheets.Keywords
