A New Member of the Graphene Family: Graphene Acid

A new member of the family of graphene derivatives, namely, graphene acid with a composition close to C₁(COOH)₁, was prepared by oxidation of graphene oxide. The synthetic procedure is based on repeated oxidation of graphite with potassium permanganate in an acidic environment. The oxidation process was studied in detail after each step. The multiple oxidations led to oxidative removal of other oxygen functional groups formed in the first oxidation step. Detailed chemical analysis showed only a minor amount of other oxygen‐containing functional groups such as hydroxyl and the dominant presence of carboxyl groups in a concentration of about 30 wt %. Further oxidation led to complete decomposition of graphene acid. The obtained material exhibits unique sorption capacity towards metal ions and carbon dioxide. The highly hydrophilic nature of graphene acid allowed the assembly of ultrathin free‐standing membranes with high transparency.     

石墨烯玻璃:玻璃表面上石墨烯的直接生长

玻璃是一种历史悠久、用途广泛的无定形硅酸盐材料,而石墨烯则是近年来发现的仅由碳原子组成的二维层状材料。石墨烯具有超高的机械强度、导电性、导热性和透明性,恰好与传统的玻璃形成互补。将石墨烯与玻璃结合在一起,在保持透明性的基础上,同时赋予普通玻璃导电性、导热性和表面疏水性,具有非常重要的实际意义和理论价值。相比于液相涂膜或者转移的方法,直接在玻璃表面生长石墨烯能够从根本上避免由于污染和破损引起的石墨烯性能的下降,从而发展出一种新型材料——石墨烯玻璃。本文介绍了我们研究组在各种玻璃表面直接生长石墨烯的研究进展,其中包括石墨烯在固态耐高温玻璃和熔融态玻璃表面的高温生长,以及利用等离子体辅助手段实现石墨烯在普通玻璃表面的低温生长,并以此为基础发展出多种基于石墨烯玻璃的应用实例。总结展望了石墨烯玻璃的制备和应用的未来挑战与发展方向。

Synthesis of Nitrogen-Doped Graphene via Thermal Annealing Graphene with Urea

Chemical doping is an effective method to intrinsically modify the chemical and electronic property of graphene. We propose a novel approach to synthesize the nitrogen-doped graphene via thermal annealing graphene with urea, in which the nitrogen source can be controllably released from the urea by varying the annealed temperature and time. The doped N content and the configuration N as well as the thermal stabilities are also evaluated with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Raman spectra. Electrical measurements indi-cate that the conductivity of doped graphene can be well regulated with the N content. The method is expected to produce large scale and controllable N-doped graphene sheets for a variety of potential applications.     

Graphene dispersions

Aqueous dispersions of graphene are of interest to afford environmentally safe handing of graphene for coating, composite, and other material applications. The dispersion of graphene in water and some other solvents using surfactants, polymers, and other dispersants is reviewed and results show that nearly completely exfoliated graphene may be obtained at concentrations from 0.001 to 5% by weight in water. The molecular features promoting good dispersion are reviewed. A critical review of optical extinction shows that the visible absorption coefficients of graphene have been reported over the ranges of 12 to 66 cm²/mg at various wavelengths. The practice of energetically activating graphene in various solvents with various stabilizers followed by centrifugation to isolate the “good” dispersion components is fine for producing samples amenable to TEM analysis and quantification, but cannot be expected to drive value added production of products on the kg or higher scale. Such approaches lack practical application and often involve 90–99% wasted graphene. However, alternative approaches omitting centrifugation are yielding dispersions 0.5 to 5% by weight graphene, with higher yields likely in the near future. These dispersions yield effective extinctions of about 49 cm²/mg, in conformity with macroscopic optical analysis of single and few layer graphene.     

Comparing Structural and Electrical Properties of Fluorinated Graphene,Graphene Oxide,and Graphene Films Functionalized with N-Methylpyrrolidone

The article presents comparison of structural and electrical properties of fluorinated graphene (FG), graphene oxide (GO), and graphene films functionalized with N-methylpyrrolidone (G-NMP). The obtained functionalized graphene films were continuous, having no ruptures, their thickness was 20–50 nm. Fluorinated films are formed from fluorinated areas and corrugated graphene islets. The size and shape of microstructures on G-NMP surfaces depend on the duration of NMP treatment. GO films demonstrate a rippled surface morphology. The resistance of all films of functionalized graphene exceeds that of pristine graphene films (several kilohms). GO and FG films exhibit dielectric properties. Current-voltage characteristics of FG demonstrate two features: stepwise current increase and negative differential resistance (NDR). Functionalized graphene can be used in flexible electronics, particularly in planar printing technologies.     

石墨烯薄膜的光化学还原制备与表征

超洁净石墨烯薄膜的制备方法

化学气相沉积(Chemical vapor deposition，CVD)法制备的石墨烯薄膜具有质量高、可控性好、可放大等优点，近年来受到了学术界和工业界的广泛关注。然而，近期研究结果表明，在高温CVD生长石墨烯的过程中，伴随着许多副反应，这些副反应会导致石墨烯薄膜表面沉积大量的无定形碳污染物，造成石墨烯薄膜的“本征污染”现象。同时，这些污染物的存在会导致转移后的石墨烯薄膜表面更脏，对石墨烯材料和器件的性能带来严重影响。这也是CVD石墨烯薄膜的性能一直无法媲美机械剥离石墨烯的重要原因之一。事实上，超洁净生长方法制备得到的超洁净石墨烯薄膜在诸多指标上都给出了目前文献报道的最好结果，代表着石墨烯薄膜材料制备技术的发展前沿。本文首先对CVD法制备石墨烯过程中表面污染物的形成机理进行分析，然后综述了超洁净石墨烯薄膜的制备方法，并列举了超洁净石墨烯薄膜的优异性质。最后，总结并展望了超洁净石墨烯未来可能的发展方向和规模化制备面临的机遇与挑战。

多孔石墨烯材料

多孔石墨烯是指在二维基面上具有纳米级孔隙的碳材料,是近年来石墨烯缺陷功能化的研究热点。多孔石墨烯不仅保留了石墨烯优良的性质,而且相比惰性的石墨烯表面,孔的存在促进了物质运输效率的提高,特别是原子级别的孔可以起到筛分不同尺寸的离子、分子的作用。更重要的是,孔的引入还有效地打开了石墨烯的能带隙,促进了石墨烯在电子器件领域的应用。本文阐述了多孔石墨烯的一些基本性质和特性,并对其理论研究、制备方法和应用的研究进展进行了评述。其中,多孔石墨烯的制备方法主要包括光刻法、催化刻蚀法、化学气相沉积法、湿法刻蚀、碳热还原法、溶剂热法和自由基攻击法。多孔石墨烯优异的特性使其在能源储存与转换材料(锂离子电池、超级电容器、燃料电池等)、DNA分子检测、化学传感器、场效应晶体管、分子筛和海水淡化等领域具有非常广阔的应用前景。     

Graphene Sheet Orientation of Parent Material Exhibits Dramatic Influence on Graphene Properties

The production of graphene from various sources has garnered much attention in recent years with the development of methods that range from “bottom‐up” to “top‐down” approaches. The top‐down approach often requires thermal treatment to obtain a few‐layered and lowly oxygenated graphene sheets. Herein, we demonstrate the production of graphene through oxidation and thermal‐reduction/exfoliation of two sources of differently orientated graphene sheets: multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and stacked graphene nanofibers (SGNFs). These two carbon‐nanofiber‐like materials have similar axial (length: 5–9 μm) and lateral dimensions (diameter: about 100 nm). We demonstrate that, whereas SGNFs exfoliate along the lateral plane between adjacent graphene sheets, carbon nanotubes exfoliate along its longitudinal axis and leads to opening of the carbon nanotubes owing to the built‐in strain. Subsequent thermal exfoliation leads to graphene materials that have, despite the fact that their parent materials exhibited similar dimensions, dramatically different proportions and, consequently, materials properties. Graphene that was prepared from MWCNTs exhibited dimensions of about 5000×300 nm, whereas graphene that was prepared from SGNFs exhibited sheets with dimensions of about 50×50 nm. The density of defects and oxygen‐containing groups on these materials are dramatically different, as are the electrochemical properties. We performed morphological, structural, and electrochemical characterization based on TEM, SEM, high‐resolution X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and cyclic voltammetry (CV) analysis on the stepwise conversion of the target source into the exfoliated graphene. Morphological and structural characterization indicated the successful chemical and thermal treatment of the materials. Our findings have shown that the orientation of the graphene sheets in starting materials has a dramatic influence on their chemical, material, and electrochemical properties.     

Growth Mechanism of Graphene on Graphene Films Grown by Chemical Vapor Deposition

We report an approach for the synthesis of mono‐ or bilayer graphene films by atmospheric‐pressure chemical vapor deposition that can achieve a low defect density through control over the growth time. Different heating ramp rates were found to lead to variation in the smoothness and grain size of the Cu foil substrate, which directly influenced the density of the graphene domains. The rough Cu surface induced by rapid heating creates a high density of graphene domains in the initial stage, ultimately resulting in a graphene film with a high defect density due to an increased overlap between domains. Conversely, a slow heating rate resulted in a smooth and flat Cu surface, thereby lowering the density of the initial graphene domains and ensuring a uniform monolayer film. From this, we demonstrate that the growth mechanism of graphene on existing graphene films is dependent on the density of the initial graphene domains, which is affected by the heating ramp rate.
