Graphene has unique mechanical, electronic, and optical properties, which researchers have used to develop novel electronic materials including transparent conductors and ultrafast transistors. Recently, the understanding of various chemical properties of graphene has facilitated its application in high-performance devices that generate and store energy. Graphene is now expanding its territory beyond electronic and chemical applications toward biomedical applications. In this talk, recent advances in graphene-related chemistry will be reviewed first, and novel chemical phenomena in 2-dimension enabled by the unique properties of graphene will be reported, including graphene catalyzed/inhibited reactions, in-situ observation of 2D liquids in graphene liquid cell, unusual optical and chemical behaviors of molecules between graphene layers, etc.
