New graphene paper with FIRST EFRC in J. Phys. Chem.

New paper in J. Phys. Chem. on binary mixtures of organic solvents at graphene surfaces over sapphire.
Collaborative work between Geiger group member Jennifer Achtyl and and colleagues at the Oak Ridge Fluid Interface Reactions, Structures and Transport (FIRST) Energy Frontier Research Center (EFRC) shows that the extent to which hexanol/cyclohexane mixtures interact with sapphire is not influenced by a single layer of graphene, even when defects are introduced to it.
