Abstract
- We report a facile all-optical method for spatially resolved and reversible chemical modification of a graphene monolayer. A tightly focused laser on graphene under water introduces an sp <superscript>3</superscript> -type chemical defect by photo-oxidation. The sp <superscript>3</superscript> -type defects can be reversibly restored to sp <superscript>2</superscript> carbon centers by the same laser with higher intensity. The photoreduction occurs due to laser-induced local heating on the graphene. These optical methods combined with a laser direct writing technique allow photowriting and erasing of a well-defined chemical pattern on a graphene canvas with a spatial resolution of about 300 nm. The pattern is visualized by Raman mapping with the same excitation laser, enabling an optical read-out of the chemical information on the graphene. Here, we successfully demonstrate all-optical Write/Read-out/Erase of chemical functionalization patterns on graphene by simply adjusting the one-color laser intensity. The all-optical method enables flexible and efficient tailoring of physicochemical properties in nanoscale for future applications.
