Abstract
A coat micro tip can include a tip having a base and an oppositely disposed tip end having a radius of curvature of less than 1 μm and a graphene film conformally coated on the tip. A method of making a graphene coated tip can include immersing a tip in a fluid comprising a graphene film floating on a surface of the fluid over the tip, disposing the immersed tip at an angle relative to the graphene film floating on the surface of the fluid as measured from a plane parallel to the base of the tip, and coating the tip with the graphene film by gradually bringing the graphene film into contact with the tip while maintaining the relative angle between the floating portion of the film and the tip during coating
