In this study, a facile, efficient, and cost-effective method was proposed for mass-production of tetrahydrofurfuryl polyethylene glycol-functionalized graphene nanoplatelets (TFPEG-treated GNPs) with improved colloidal stability in water and different organic solvents. In this method, zirconium(IV)...
