We present a micro-Raman spectroscopy study on single- and few layer graphene (FLG) grown on the silicon terminated surface of 6H-silicon carbide (SiC). On the basis of the 2D-line (light scattering from two phonons close to the K-point in the Brillouin zone) we distinguish graphene mono- from bilayers or few layer graphene. Monolayers have a 2D-line consisting of only one component, whereas more than one component is observed for thicker graphene layers. Compared to the graphite the monolayer graphene lines are shifted to higher frequencies. We tentatively ascribe the corresponding phonon hardening to strain in the first graphene layer.

This work presents experimental evidence of the formation mechanisms of few-layer graphene (FLG) films on SiC by nickel silicidation. FLG is formed by annealing of a 40 nm thick Ni layer on 6H-SiC at 1035ºC for 60 s, resulting in a Ni2Si layer which may be capped by any Ni that did not react during annealing. It has been proposed that FLG forms on top of the Ni during the high temperature stage. In contrast, during cooling, carbon atoms which were released during the silicidation reaction may diffuse back towards the Ni2Si/SiC interface to form a second FLG film. After annealing, layer-by-layer de-processing was carried out in order to unequivocally identify the FLG at each location using Atomic force microscopy (AFM) and Raman spectroscopy.

A chimeric enzyme based on the genetic fusion of a laccase with a hydrophobin domain was employed to functionalize few-layer graphene, previously exfoliated from graphite in the presence of the hydrophobin. The as-produced, biofunctionalized few-layer graphene was characterized by electrochemistry and Raman spectroscopy, and finally employed in the biosensing of phenols such as catechol and dopamine. This strategy paves the way for the functionalization of nanomaterials by hydrophobin domains of chimeric enzymes and their use in a variety of electrochemical applications.
