Graphene: Hydrophilicity of Graphene in Water through Transparency to Polar and Dispersive Interactions (Adv. Mater. 6/2018)

In article number 1703274, Grégory F. Schneider and co-workers present ice and hydrogels as substrates that mimic water while offering a stable support for graphene. The lowest water contact angles on graphene ever measured are recorded, namely for graphene-on-ice and graphene-on-hydrogel. It is anticipated that these findings will shed light on the inconsistencies reported up to now on the wetting properties of graphene, and help to rationalize how molecules interact with graphene in water.
