Surface functionalization of low-dimensional nanomaterials offers a means to tailor their optoelectronic and chemical characteristics. However, functionalization reactions are sensitive to the inherent surface features of nanomaterials, such as defects, grain boundaries, and edges. Conventional optical characterization methods, such as Raman spectroscopy, have limited sensitivity and spatial resolution and, therefore, struggle to visualize reaction sites and chemical species. Here, we demonstrate the capability of spatially and chemically sensitive tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy imaging to map the distribution of molecules in covalently functionalized graphene. Hyperspectral vertex component analysis and density functional theory are necessary to interpret the nature of binding sites and extract information from the spatially and spectrally heterogeneous datasets. Our results clarify the origin of heterogeneous surface functionalization, resolving preferential binding at edges and defects. This work demonstrates the potential of nanospectroscopic tools combined with unsupervised learning to characterize complex, partially ordered optoelectronic nanomaterials. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
