氮掺杂石墨烯的制备及其对氧还原反应的电催化性能

以氧化石墨烯（GO）为原料、丙酮肟（DMKO）为还原剂和氮掺杂剂,采用化学还原法制备了不同氮掺杂含量的石墨烯（NG）. 利用场发射透射电子显微镜（FETEM）、紫外-可见（UV-Vis）光谱、傅里叶变换红外（FTIR）光谱、X射线光电子能谱（XPS）、zeta 电位和纳米粒度分析、循环伏安（CV）和旋转圆盘电极（RDE）等手段对材料的形貌、结构、成分和电化学性质进行表征. 结果显示：DMKO能有效地还原GO,且通过调节GO与DMKO的质量比,可以得到不同还原效果的NG,其氮含量范围为4.40%-5.89%（原子分数）;GO与DMKO的质量比为1：0.7时制备的氮掺杂石墨烯（NG-1）在O₂饱和0.1 mol·L^-1 KOH溶液中对氧还原反应（ORR）的电催化性能最佳,其ORR峰电流为0.93 mA·cm^-2,电子转移数为3.6,这归因于其较高含量的吡啶-N增加了材料的ORR活性位点. 此外,石墨化-N由于其较高的电子导电性倾向于产生较高的氧还原峰电流,而吡啶-N较低的超电势倾向于产生较正的氧还原峰电位. 与商用Pt/C相比,该材料展现出了优异的抗CH₃OH“跨界效应”的特性.

氮掺杂石墨烯的p型场效应及其精细调控（英文）

石墨烯因独特的性质和潜在的应用在过去十年受到广泛重视。得益于石墨烯研究的繁荣,氧化石墨烯作为石墨烯的最常见的衍生物,近年来也获得广泛的研究。氧化石墨烯不仅可以通过高温退火还原得到光电性质都类似石墨烯的还原氧化石墨烯,而且因其结构中存在羧基、羰基和羟基等含氧基团,为石墨烯的性能调控提供了可能。常见的做法是通过引入外来原子比如氮原子来调控石墨烯的化学催化和光电性质。然而至今在氮掺杂石墨烯的研究中,氮的类型和所处化学环境对石墨烯电学性能的影响尚不清楚,而这会影响石墨烯后续的电学和催化应用。因此,合成特定类型的氮掺杂石墨烯并研究其对后续应用的影响是必要的。我们通过氧化石墨烯和邻芳基二胺的希夫碱缩合反应成功合成了吡嗪和吡啶氮掺杂石墨烯,研究了氮的类型对石墨烯电学性能的影响。吡嗪氮掺杂的石墨烯表现出弱的n型掺杂,而强吸电子的三氟甲基基团的引入,会让吡嗪氮掺杂的石墨烯由弱n型掺杂转变为明显的p型掺杂。当在吡嗪氮中同时引入吡啶氮时,石墨烯也表现为弱的p型掺杂。因此,石墨烯的性能可以通过控制吸电子基团和掺杂不同类型的氮来实现精细调控,从而为石墨烯的应用提供更多潜在可能。

不同氮掺杂石墨烯氧还原反应活性的密度泛函理论研究

N掺杂石墨烯作为一种具有较高活性和稳定性的氧还原反应(ORR)催化剂,受到人们的广泛关注。然而不同的N掺杂类型对氧还原活性的影响一直存在争议。本文通过密度泛函理论分别对石墨型和吡啶型两种N掺杂石墨烯的ORR活性进行比较研究。能带结构分析表明,石墨氮掺杂石墨烯(GNG)的导电性随掺N量的增加而降低;吡啶氮掺杂石墨烯(PNG)的导电性则随掺N量的增加先提高后降低。当N掺杂浓度达到4.2%(原子分数)时,PNG具有最优导电性。且当N掺杂浓度大于1.4%时,PNG的导电率总是高于GNG。氧还原自由能阶梯曲线发现O₂的质子化是整个氧还原过程的潜在控制步骤。在同等氮掺杂浓度下,O₂的质子化自由能能变在GNG上低于在PNG上,意味着若在同等电子传输能力的情况下,GNG具有比PNG更优异的催化活性。进一步分析发现：当N掺杂浓度在低于2.8%时,GNG和PNG导电性差异小,其催化ORR活性由O₂质子化反应难易程度决定,GNG的催化活性优于PNG;当N掺杂浓度高于2.8%时,氮掺杂石墨烯的电子传输性能(导电性)成为决定催化剂ORR活性的主要因素,因此PNG表现出较GNG更高的活性。

Chitosan/Nitrogen Doped Reduced Graphene Oxide Modified Biosensor for Impedimetric Detection of microRNA

The development of a low‐cost and disposable biosensor platform for the sensitive and rapid detection of microRNAs (miRNAs) is of great interest for healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and medical science. We designed an impedimetric biosensing platform using Chitosan (CHIT)/nitrogen doped reduced graphene oxide (NRGO) conductive composite to modify the surface of pencil graphite electrodes (PGE) for the sensitive detection of miRNAs. An initial optimisation protocol involved investigation of the effect of NRGO concentration and miR 660 DNA probe concentration on the response of the modified electrode. After the optimization protocol, the sequence‐selective hybridization between miR 660 DNA probe and its RNA target was evaluated by measuring changes on charge transfer resistance, R_ct values. Moreover, the selectivity of impedimetric biosensor was tested in the presence of non‐complementary miRNA (NC) sequences, such as miR 34a and miR 16. The hybridization process was examined both in phosphate buffer (PBS) and in PBS diluted fetal bovine serum (FBS:PBS) solutions. The biosensor demonstrated a detection limit of 1.72 μg/mL in PBS and 1.65 μg/mL in FBS:PBS diluted solution. Given the easy, quick and disposable attributes, the proposed conductive nanocomposite biosensor platform shows great promise as a low‐cost sensor kit for healthcare monitoring, clinical diagnostics, and biomedical devices.     

High Catalytic Activity of Nitrogen and Sulfur Co‐Doped Nanoporous Graphene in the Hydrogen Evolution Reaction

Chemical doping has been demonstrated to be an effective way to realize new functions of graphene as metal‐free catalyst in energy‐related electrochemical reactions. Although efficient catalysis for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) has been achieved with doped graphene, its performance in the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is rather poor. In this study we report that nitrogen and sulfur co‐doping leads to high catalytic activity of nanoporous graphene in HER at low operating potential, comparable to the best Pt‐free HER catalyst, 2D MoS₂. The interplay between the chemical dopants and geometric lattice defects of the nanoporous graphene plays the fundamental role in the superior HER catalysis.

基于吡嗪连接的石墨烯电极单分子场效应晶体管

In single-molecule junctions, anchoring groups that connect the central molecule to the electrodes have profound effects on the mechanical and electrical properties of devices. The mechanical strength of the anchoring groups affects the device stability, while their electronic coupling strength influences the junction conductance and the conduction polarity. To design and fabricate high-performance single-molecule devices with graphene electrodes, it is highly desirable to explore robust anchoring groups that bond the central molecule to the graphene electrodes. Condensation of ortho-phenylenediamine terminated molecules with ortho-quinone moieties at the edges of graphene generates graphene-conjugated pyrazine units that can be employed as anchoring groups for the construction of molecular junctions with graphene electrodes. In this study, we investigated the fabrication and electrical characterization of single-molecule field-effect transistors (FETs) with graphene as the electrodes, pyrazine as the anchoring groups, and a heavily doped silicon substrate as the back-gate electrode. Graphene nano-gaps were fabricated by a high-speed feedback-controlled electro-burning method, and their edges were fully oxidized; thus, there were many ortho-quinone moieties at the edges. After the deposition of phenazine molecules with ortho-phenylenediamine terminals at both ends, a large current increase was observed, indicating that molecular junctions were formed with covalent pyrazine anchoring groups. The yield of the single-molecule devices was as high as 26%, demonstrating the feasibility of pyrazine as an effective anchoring group for graphene electrodes. Our electrical measurements show that the ten fabricated devices exhibited a distinct gating effect when a back-gate voltage was applied. However, the gate dependence of the conductance varied considerably from device to device, and three types of different gate modulation behaviors, including p-type, ambipolar, and n-type conduction, were observed. Our observations can be understood using a modified single-level model that takes into account the linear dispersion of graphene near the Dirac point; the unique band structure of graphene and the coupling strength of pyrazine with the graphene electrode both crucially affect the conduction polarity of single-molecule FETs. When the coupling strength of pyrazine with the graphene electrode is weak, the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) of the central molecule dominates charge transport. Depending on the gating efficiencies of the HOMO level and the graphene states, devices can exhibit p-type or ambipolar conduction. In contrast, when the coupling is strong, the redistribution of electrons around the central molecule and the graphene electrodes leads to a realignment of the molecular levels, resulting in the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO)-dominated n-type conduction. The high yield and versatility of the pyrazine anchoring groups are beneficial for the construction of single-molecule devices with graphene electrodes.     

Heavily Doped and Highly Conductive Hierarchical Nanoporous Graphene for Electrochemical Hydrogen Production

Heavy chemical doping and high electrical conductivity are two key factors for metal‐free graphene electrocatalysts to realize superior catalytic performance toward hydrogen evolution. However, heavy chemical doping usually leads to the reduction of electrical conductivity because the catalytically active dopants give rise to additional electron scattering and hence increased electrical resistance. A hierarchical nanoporous graphene, which is comprised of heavily chemical doped domains and a highly conductive pure graphene substrate, is reported. The hierarchical nanoporous graphene can host a remarkably high concentration of N and S dopants up to 9.0 at % without sacrificing the excellent electrical conductivity of graphene. The combination of heavy chemical doping and high conductivity results in high catalytic activity toward electrochemical hydrogen production. This study has an important implication in developing multi‐functional electrocatalysts by 3D nanoarchitecture design.
