چکیده

We demonstrate a photochemical reaction between graphene and benzoyl peroxide. This reaction introduces spatially localized defects into the graphene basal plane. The reactivity of the single-layer graphene is approximately 14 times higher than that of the double-layer graphene. Our result suggests that photoexcited graphene transfers a hot electron to benzoyl peroxide and induces its decomposition to a phenyl radical.

A Reactivity Based Emission Inventory for the South Pars and Its Implication for Ozone Pollution Control

The South Pars zone in Iran encompasses the largest gas refineries and petrochemical complexes in the world. In the South Pars zone, elevated concentrations of reactive hydrocarbons co-emitted with nitrogen oxides from industrial facilities lead to substantial ozone production downwind. To understand the role of these emissions on the ozone formation and, to formulate appropriate control st...

Microscopic effects of the bonding configuration of nitrogen-doped graphene on its reactivity toward hydrogen peroxide reduction reaction.

We report a density functional theory (DFT) study of microscopic detailed effects of the bonding configuration of nitrogen-doped graphene (N-graphene) within the carbon lattice (including pyridinic, pyrrolic, and graphitic N) on the reactivity and mechanistic processes of H2O2 reduction reaction. We simulated the adsorption process of H2O2, analyzed the mechanistic processes, and calculated the...

Photocatalytic patterning and modification of graphene.

TiO(2)-based photocatalysis has been widely used to decompose various organic pollutants for the purpose of environmental protection. Such a "green" photochemical process can ultimately degrade organic compounds into CO(2) and H(2)O under ambient conditions. We demonstrate here its extended application on the engineering of single- or few-layer graphene. Using a patterned TiO(2) photomask, we h...

Photoluminescence responses of graphene quantum dots toward organic bases and an acid.

Edge-modified graphene quantum dots (GQD-1) showed base-dependent photoluminescence (PL) responses. DBN, DBU, and Et3N gradually enhanced the PL intensity and then caused quenching, whereas quenching was not observed when pyridine and pyrimidine were used. The quenching can be explained by the photoinduced electron transfer from the anchored bases at the periphery to the emissive sites of GQD-1.

Reactivity of Graphene Sheets: Cycloadditions and Rolling up to form Nanotubes

The production of graphene by micromechanical cleavage has triggered an enormous experimental activity. Since then, many studies have demonstrated that graphene monolayers possess novel structural, electrical and mechanical properties. However many important issues need to be addressed before this material can be used. Much work has been produced on the chemical functionalization as a tool for ...
