An image (made with Raman spectroscopy) of a graphene layer on top of a patterned substrate shows the difference in chemical reactivity of the side opposite the substrate. The wide red stripe is an area over a silicon dioxide substrate, making the top surface of the graphene highly reactive. The narrow blue stripe is graphene over a layer of hydrocarbon (called OTS), and there is almost no reactivity on the side not in contact with the substrate.
