1. A composition, consisting of:
an alkylamine modified graphene having a formula R[—CH2-(alkylamine)]x with trace amounts of both an oxygen functional group and a nitrogen functional group coupled to the graphene core,
where R is a graphene core, [—CH2-(alkylamine)] is an alkylamine functional group, and x is a non-zero integer, and
where the alkylamine functional group is one or more selected from the group consisting of [—CH2-(n-propylamine)], [—CH2-(n-hexylamine)], and [—CH2-(n-dodecylamine)], and
where the alkylamine modified graphene has a weight ratio of alkylamine to graphene in a range of from about 20:1 to 30:1.
