Graphene is a bi dimensional layer of carbon atoms bonded in a sp2 configuration forming a honeycomb structure. This material has attracted a lot of interested since it was first discovered by Novoselov and Geim and further applicated in many fields due to its high theoretical surface area, high mechanical flexibility, good electrical conductivity and high theoretical capacitance. All these characteristics make graphene a highly promising material to be used in many fields due to its great advantages mainly its great surface versatility. The effect of the functionalization in the final properties of graphene surfaces and possible applications will be discussed in this chapter.
