We describe an originally developed fabrication process of introducing an adhesive layer that fixes a graphene layer on a substrate via π–π interactions. The adhesive layer is prepared with an easy and highly reproductive wet chemical reaction that modifies the surface of the substrate before transferring the graphene layer. By using the process, we can greatly reduce the damage of the graphene layer that occurs during the manufacturing of a graphene microelectrode (GME). The process enables us to produce almost damage-free GMEs in high yield. The durability of a GME during an electrochemical measurement was also improved and the GME can be used stably even after repeating the electrochemical measurement, rinsing with water, and air drying.
