TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an overview of the main techniques for production and processing of graphene and related materials (GRMs), as well as the key characterization procedures, adopting a 'hands-on' approach, providing practical details and procedures as derived from literature and from the authors' experience, in order to enable the reader to reproduce the results.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the reversible disulfides exchange reaction, which proceeds under mild conditions, can install relatively large amounts of mechanically interlocked disulfide macrocycles on the one‐dimensional nanotubes.

TL;DR: Sensitive thermogravimetric analysis coupled with gas chromatography and mass spectrometry can prove the hexylation reaction and the efficiency of functionalization is comparable to reductive functionalization of pristine chemical vapor deposition (CVD)-graphene and bulk graphite.

TL;DR: Two novel graphene-fullerene hybrid structures, containing C60 and endohedral Sc3 N@C80 bound to graphene, were efficiently synthesized via a reductive activation/exfoliation approach starting from pristine graphite, confirming the covalent bonding of the respective C60 /Sc3 N @C80 moieties to the pristine graphene.

TL;DR: Using a reductive sidewall functionalization concept, a covalent inter-carbon-allotrope hybrid consisting of single-walled carbon nanotubes and the endohedral fullerene Sc3 N@C80 is prepared for the first time.
