The graphene sample was first dispersed in ethanol, and then the ethanol dispersion droplets of the graphene was dipped on a silicon wafer for SEM analysis. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and HR-TEM (high resolution-TEM) tests were performed by using JEOL JEM-2010 equipped with selected area electron diffraction. The accelerating voltage tested was 200 kV. HR-TEM test with spherical aberration correction was performed by using JEOL JEM-2100 F. In the TEM test, the method for preparing a sample was as followed: the ethanol dispersion of a sample was dropped on an ultrathin and amorphous carbon-coated copper mesh, and then dried at room temperature for 1 h.

In the instrument, a monochromatous copper Kα radiation (λ=1.54050 Å) was used, and a scan rate of 10 degrees per minute is performed. Microscopic Raman test was performed by using a confocal Raman system (LabRam HR-800), Horiba Jobin Yvon) at an excitation wavelength of 532 nm. The position and full width at half maximum (FWMH) of the D and G bands on the Raman spectrum were determined by Lorentz fitting. X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopic test was performed by using PHI Quantear SXM to analyze the chemical constituents of the sample; the test was carried out at 6.7×10.sup.−8 Pa, and Al was used as an anode probe.
