Figure Lengend Snippet: (a) D- and G-band region Raman spectra of pristine graphite, exfoliated graphene, and CIG nanoscaffolds, normalized at the G-band (the D- and G-bands are observed between 1200 and 1700 cm –1 ). The 2D-band region Raman spectra of (b) pristine graphite, (c) exfoliated graphene, and (d) CIG nanoscaffolds. The 2D-band region Raman spectrum of the CIG nanoscaffolds is fitted by a Lorentzian function. The analysis is carried out on a Si-wafer surface by using a laser excitation of 514 nm.

Figure Lengend Snippet: TEM images of (a) exfoliated graphene nanoplatelets, (b) covalently linked few-layer graphene nanoplatelets, (c) AuNPs prepared by the Turkevich method with no graphene nanoplatelets, and (d) AuNP/aniline-functionalized graphene hybrid structure. (e) TEM image of the US–AuNP/CIG nanoscaffold hybrid structure. Red and blue arrows show the regions in which US–AuNPs are located. (f) HRTEM image of AuNPs generated (the region shown by the blue arrow in (e) between the covalently linked graphene nanoplatelets. The inset shows a lattice spacing of 0.23 nm, characteristic of Au 0 (111), confirming AuNP formation. Size distribution of AuNPs prepared (g) with no graphene and in the presence of (h) aniline-functionalized graphene and (i) CIG nanoscaffolds.
