Which outcome occurs when graphene sheet edges are functionalized with electron-withdrawing groups?

💡 Explanation

When electron-withdrawing groups are added, they induce charge polarization near the edges, which breaks the symmetry of graphene's lattice structure and results in a band gap opening. Therefore, band gap opening occurs, rather than increased mobility, thermal conductivity or oxidation resistance which require doping or passivation.
