Abstract

Abstract: Owing to the remarkable physicochemical properties such as hydrophobicity, conductivity, elasticity, and light weight, graphene‐based materials have emerged as one of the most appealing carbon allotropes in materials science and chemical engineering. Unfortunately, pristine graphene materials lack functional groups for further modification, severely hindering their practical applications. To render graphene materials with special characters for different applications, graphene oxide or reduced graphene oxide has been functionalized with different organic agents and assembled together, via covalent binding and various noncovalent forces such as π–π interaction, electrostatic interaction, and hydrogen bonding. In this review, we briefly discuss the state‐of‐the‐art synthetic strategies and properties of organic‐functionalized graphene‐based materials, and then, present the prospective applications of organic‐functionalized graphene‐based materials in sample preparation.
