Covalently Functionalized MoS2 with Dithiolenes

Spectroscopy of covalently functionalized graphene.

In order to engineer a band gap into graphene, covalent bond-forming reactions can be used to change the hybridization of the graphitic atoms from sp(2) to sp(3), thereby modifying the conjugation length of the delocalized carbon lattice; similar side-wall chemistry has been shown to introduce a band gap into metallic single-walled carbon nanotubes. Here we demonstrate that the application of s...

Green-Reduction of Covalently Functionalized Graphene Oxide with Varying Stoichiometry

Graphene-based materials were prepared by chemical reduction of covalently functionalized graphene oxide with environmentally friendly agents. Two varying stoichiometry of graphene oxide (GO) induced by using different chemical preparation conditions, further covalent functionalization of the GO materials with 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide hydrochloride / N-hydroxysuccinimide a...

Covalently functionalized hexagonal boron nitride nanosheets by nitrene addition.

The covalent functionalization of exfoliated hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) nanosheets by nitrene addition is described. Integration of functionalized h-BN nanosheets within a polycarbonate matrix is demonstrated and was found to afford significant increases in mechanical properties. This integration methodology was further extended by the covalent modification of the h-BN nanosheets with polym...
