Graphene-based materials are attracting increasing attention because of their excellent and intriguing physical properties.[1] Applications of such materials in micro-and nanoelectronic devices not only require the preserved intrinsic electrical properties of graphene, but also demand that they can be easily incorporated and homogeneously distributed into various matrices.[2] Therefore, sufficient solubility of graphene-based materials in different solvents is a prerequisite for their further practical applications.[3] Currently, functionalization of graphene is widely used to improve its dispersibility,[4] such as chemical modifications,[5] and covalent [6] or non-covalent functionalizations.[4, 7] Among these methods, non-covalent functionalization of graphene with π–π interactions as the binding force between graphene and stabilizers is the most effective and nondestructive method, which enables the modification of material properties without altering the chemical structure of graphene.[8] However, each type of functionalized graphene sheets can only be dispersed in certain solvents, as the physical property of the modified graphene is either lipophilic or hydrophilic, but not both.[9] Until now, amphiphilic graphene sheets that can be dissolved in both organic solvents with low polarity (for example toluene and chloroform) and water-miscible solvents with high polarity (such as ethanol, methanol) have rarely been explored.[2]
