Large-area graphene based sensor
Graphene is a conducting substrate that can be functionalized homogeneously [6,7] and transferred to any other material conducting or non-conducting without any remarkable loss of functionality [7].

Fig. 8: Raman spectra of a) unmodified graphene (Gr) transferred on glass, b) maleimidophenyl (MP) functionalized graphene on copper; MP/Gr transferred to c) thick SiO2 layer on Si, to d) Au/Si and to e) PTFE foil. The spectra are shifted vertically for clarity. The * marked bands are due to PTFE. Excitation with 488 nm.
