Abstract

We report a method for universal assembly of multiple nanoparticles with different sizes and compositions on a single chemically converted graphene sheet with good control over particle sizes in the range of 1 to 2 nm through the covalent immobilization of dendrimer-encapsulated nanoparticles.
