Handbook of Graphene, Volume 1, essentially focuses on graphene growth, synthesis, and functionalization in order to realize optimized graphene-based nanostructures which can be utilized for various applications. This handbook provides detailed and up-to-date overviews of the synthesis and functionalization of graphene on various substrates (metallic and semiconducting), their properties and possible application methods. In particular, the chapters cover:

-       Optimization of graphene growth and challenges for synthesis of high-quality graphene and graphite in metallic materials;

-       Exfoliation of graphene sheets obtained by sonication, ball milling and use of polymers and surfactants;

-       Structure, electronic properties, functionalization methods, and prospects of epitaxial graphene grown on hexagonal and cubic silicon carbide substrates;

-       Growth of graphene on Si(111) wafers via direct deposition of solid-state carbon atom and characterization of graphene-on-silicon films;

-       Chemical reactivity and modification of electronical properties of graphene grown on Ni(111);

-       Enhancement of the cell wall strength and stability of foam structure utilizing graphene;

-       Influence of applied strain and magnetic field on the electronic and transport properties of graphene with different kinds of defects;

-       Application of hydrogen functionalized graphene in spintronic nanodevices;

-       Electrochemistry and catalytic properties of graphene-based materials;

-       Functionalization of graphene with molecules and/or nanoparticles for advanced applications such a
