Single layer graphene protective gas barrier for copper photocathodes

Graphene-like BN/gelatin nanobiocomposites for gas barrier applications.

We report a simple, effective and green way for the fabrication of gelatin-graphene-like BN nanocomposites for gas barrier applications. The reinforcement effect of graphene-like BN on the gelatin properties is discussed. The obtained graphene-like BN nanocomposites show good dispersion in the gelatin matrix and remarkable capability to improve the crystallinity and the barrier properties of ge...

Single walled carbon nanotube in the reaction layer of gas diffusion electrode for oxygen reduction reaction

In this paper, the effect of surface area of reaction layers in gas diffusion electrodes on oxygen reduction reaction was investigated. For this purpose, various amounts (0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 1, 1.5 and zero %wt of total loading of reaction layer) of single walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) were inserted in the reaction layer. The performance of gas diffusion electrodes for oxygen reduction re...

Single layer graphene as an electrochemical platform.

Over the past decade, there has been a great deal of interest in graphene with regards to its electrochemical behavior. Previous studies have focused on understanding fundamental processes such as charge transfer and molecular transport at the graphene-electrolyte interface as well as on applications of graphene in electronic, optical, and mechanical systems. We present illustrative examples of...
