ABSTRACT The simultaneous reduction and functionalization of graphene oxide (GO) was realized through a chemical grafting reaction with a functionalization agent N,N‐bis(3‐aminopropyl)methylamine (APMEL). The reduced and functionalized reduced GO (rGO‐APMEL) sheets can be well dispersed in water wit...
