A graphene-based composite material noncovalently functionalized with a chemiluminescence reagent: synthesis and intrinsic chemiluminescence activity.

A bottom-up approach for preparing multifunctional graphene-based materials noncovalently functionalized with CL reagents with aromatic rings such as N-(aminobutyl)-N-(ethylisoluminol) (ABEI), luminol and isoluminol is reported. The as-prepared nanocomposites exhibit good CL activity, which may find future applications in analytical, electrochemical and biomedical fields.
