Chemically induced folding of single and bilayer graphene.
Here we report chemically induced folding of thin graphene flakes. The folding occurs spontaneously when an intercalating species interrupts the adhesion between graphene and a supporting substrate. The morphology of induced folds suggests that the conjugated pi network is capable of extremely sharp curvature. Adjacent folds are often parallel, suggesting preferential deformation along certain crystallographic planes.
