Diamond: Electronic Ground State of Carbon at Temperatures Approaching 0 K

The relative stability of graphite and diamond is revisited with hybrid density functional theory calculations. The electronic energy of diamond is computed to be more negative by 1.1 kJ mol^?1 than that of graphite at T=0 K and in the absence of external pressure. Graphite gains thermodynamic stability over diamond at 298 K only because of the differences in the zero‐point energy, specific heat, and entropy terms for both polymorphs.     

氧化程度对微细鳞片可膨胀石墨结构及膨胀性的影响

以平均粒径为19.71μm的天然微细鳞片石墨为原料,通过化学氧化法制备了具有不同氧化程度的可膨胀石墨,采用XRD、FTIR、Raman、SEM等对可膨胀石墨的结构与膨胀性进行了表征。结果表明:当氧化程度较低时制得的微细鳞片可膨胀石墨由石墨、石墨层间化合物和氧化石墨三相组成;随着氧化程度的增加,氧化石墨相含量与可膨胀石墨结构无序程度逐渐增高,石墨层间化合物相含量先增加后减少,石墨相含量则逐渐降低;氧化促使HSO4-或SO42-插入石墨层间,插入层间的HSO4-或SO42-量是决定可膨胀石墨膨胀容积的关键因素,制备的微细鳞片膨胀石墨的膨胀容积可达65.9mL·g-1。

Fabrication of exfoliated graphite reinforced silicone rubber composites - Mechanical,tribological and dielectric properties

The effect of exfoliated graphite (EG) on the mechanical, tribological and dielectric properties of the silicone rubber (QM) composites has been systematically investigated and analysed. Morphological analysis of the composites helps to understand the interfacial interaction between the filler and the rubber matrix as well as wear mechanism respectively. An enhancement in the mechanical, tribological and dielectric properties was observed with an increase in filler loading and better performance was observed at 7 phr of filler loading. The improvement in performance is attributed to the better interaction between the QM chains and the EG layers as evident from the AFM and TEM analysis. It is also evident from the Kraus plot which supports the reinforcing effect of EG in QM matrix.

Lithium-ion battery separators: Recent developments and state of art

Lithium-ion battery separators are receiving increased consideration from the scientific community. Single-layer and multilayer separators are well-established technologies, and the materials used span from polyolefins to blends and composites of fluorinated polymers. The addition of ceramic nanoparticles and separator coatings improves thermal and mechanical properties, as well as electrolyte uptake and ionic conductivity. The state-of-art separators are actively involved in the cell chemistry through specific functional groups on their surface. Among the numerous properties, safety features and long cycle life are high-priority requirements for next-generation lithium-ion batteries.     

Direct diazotization of graphite nanoplatelets with melamine and their favorable application in epoxy resins

The ease of undesirable agglomeration and a low efficiency are two problems that restrict the application of graphite nanoplatelets (GNPs) in epoxy resins (EP). Herein, a new strategy with melamine (MEL) as the precursor to functionalize GNPs chemically, which form a bonding layer that is compatible with epoxy matrix, is reported. The MEL fragments with secondary amine groups were grafted uniformly on the GNPs surface by covalent junctions to exploit the diazonium chemistry. This behavior led to a better dispersion and a stronger interaction with the epoxy matrix and resulted in an enhanced glass transition temperature and bending strength, compared with the pure EP. When only 1 wt% functionalized GNPs (f‐GNPs) was used, the Tg of the modified EP raised of about 15°C compared with pure EP, and the bending strength increased by approximately 39%. The dielectric constant of the EP with f‐GNPs was impacted slightly, and the dielectric loss decreased. At 10⁵ Hz, the dielectric loss of the EP with 1 wt% f‐GNPs decreased by approximately 11% compared with pure EP. Therefore, diazotization modification of the GNPs is a useful approach to improve the compatibility in nanoparticle networks.     

Chemical‐Reductant‐Free Electrochemical Deuteration Reaction using Deuterium Oxide

We report a method for the electrochemical deuteration of α,β‐unsaturated carbonyl compounds under catalyst‐ and external‐reductant‐free conditions, with deuteration rates as high as 99 % and yields up to 91 % in 2 h. The use of graphite felt for both the cathode and the anode was key to ensuring chemoselectivity and high deuterium incorporation under neutral conditions without the need for an external reductant. This method has a number of advantages over previously reported deuteration reactions that use stoichiometric metallic reductants. Mechanistic experiments showed that O₂ evolution at the anode not only eliminates the need for an external reductant but also regulates the pH of the reaction mixture, keeping it approximately neutral.
