▎ 摘  要

The mechanism of charge transfer through nanomaterials such as graphene remains unclear, and the amount of charge that can be transferred from/to graphene without damaging its structural integrity is unknown. In this communication, we show that metallic nanoparticles can be decorated onto graphene surfaces as a result of charge transfer from the supporting substrate to an adjoining solution containing metal ions. Au or Pt nanoparticles were formed with relatively high yield on graphene-coated substrates that can reduce these metal ions, such as Ge, Si, GaAs, Al, and Cu. However, metal ions were not reduced on graphene surfaces coated onto non-reducing substrates such as SiO2 or ZnO. These results confirm that graphene can be doped by exploiting charge transfer from the underlying substrate; thus graphene is not only transparent with respect to visible light, but also with respect to the charge transfer.
