25 Surface Functionalizing of Carbon-Based Gas-Sensing Materials 

Some of the most important routes of graphene surface functionalizing, which are not based on surface-bound oxygen and carbonyl moieties, are depicted in Fig. 25.7. It is important that most sp -hybridized carbon scaffolds (including carbon nanotubes, fullerenes, and graphitic carbon shells) are amenable to these reactions.
