Preparation of graphene by solvent dispersion methods and its functionalization through noncovalent and covalent approaches

In this chapter, a review of recent developments in the preparation of graphene using the solvent dispersion method will be discussed followed by a survey of the noncovalent approaches taken to disperse graphene. Finally, chemical reactions performed on solvent dispersed graphene, including 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition, zwitterion cycloaddition, nitrene addition, nucleophilic addition, the Bingel reaction, radical addition, and click chemistry, will be discussed.
