Review of Graphene Properties in View of its Use as a Substrate for Matrix-Free Mass Spectrometry



V. A. Gabovich, V. A. Pokrovskiy

Abstract


Short review of the graphene basic properties is given. This material is discussed, in particular, as a possible ionization support for mass spectrometry. The attention is paid to the possible role of intrinsic and deliberately induced structural defects in electronic and chemical properties of graphene substrates.
