This is the first demonstration of the feasibility of using the interaction of paramagnetic sites of mechanochemically nanostructured graphite particles with aliphatic alcohols (ethanol and octanol) to change the properties of graphenes formed in the liquid-phase exfoliation of thus modified samples of nanostructured graphite. The presence of various functional groups was confirmed spectroscopically. Raman spectroscopy was used to show that treatment of mechanochemically nanostructured graphite with alcohols may lead to graphenes with fewer defects. The graphene nanoparticles from the resultant dispersions have a tendency to agglomerate upon the removal of the solvent, which increases due to the presence of functional groups on their surface.
