Diamond/graphene composite three-dimensional electrode has attracted extensive attention because of its low background current, wide potential window from diamond component, and high electrochemical activity graphite component. In this work, by using the hot wire chemical vapor deposition method, nano diamonds are embedded in vertical graphene sheet on surface single particle layer regulating s...

The surface area of a single graphene sheet is 2630 m(2)/g, substantially higher than values derived from BET surface area measurements of activated carbons used in current electrochemical double layer capacitors. Our group has pioneered a new carbon material that we call chemically modified graphene (CMG). CMG materials are made from 1-atom thick sheets of carbon, functionalized as needed, and...

graphene sheet including single vacancy, double vacancy and stone-wales with armchair and zigzag structure was simulated using molecular dynamics simulation. the effect of defects on shear’s modulus, shear strength and fracture  strain was investigated. results showed that these shear properties reduce when the degrees of all kinds of defects increase. the dangling bond in sv and dv defected gr...

Graphene, after its first production in 2004 have received lots of attentions from researchers because of its unique properties. High mobility, high sensitivity, high selectivity and high surface area make graphene excellent choice for bio application. One of promising graphene base device that has amazingly high sensitivity is graphene field-effect transistor (GFET). This review selectively su...

Sulfonated carbon nanotubes (S-CNTs) and sulfonated graphene (S-Gra) with superior dispersibility were successfully prepared to modify poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) for applications in polymer solar cells (PSCs). The synergetic effect between S-CNTs/S-Gra and PEDOT:PSS could remove excess insulating PSS chains leading to an obvious phase separation between ...

We report molecular simulations of the interaction between a graphene sheet and different liquids such as water, ethanol, ethylene glycol. describe structural arrangements at interface in terms density profiles, number hydrogen bonds (HBs), local structuration neighboring layers close to surface. establish formation two-dimensional HB network layer closest graphene. also calculate interfacial t...

The two-dimensional form of carbon, graphene, shows remarkable electronic properties1,2 that could prove useful in applications such as ultrafast energyefficient transistors3,4 for computers and mobile devices, and as flexible transparent conductors for macroelectronic devices such as solar cells, display panels and electronic newspapers. However, to realize the technological potential of graph...

Highly sensitive graphene-based gas sensors can be made using large-area single layer graphene, but the cost of large-area pure graphene is high, making the simpler reduced graphene oxide (rGO) an attractive alternative. To use rGO for gas sensing, however, require a high active surface area and slightly different approach is needed. Here, we report on a simple method to produce kaolin-graphene...

Temperature and magnetic field dependencies of sheet resistance R # (T,B) in polycrystalline CVD graphene, investigated the range 2≤ T≤ 300 K fields 0≤ B≤ 8 T, allowed to determine carrier transport mechanisms single-layered twisted graphene. It is shown that for curves such samples are described by interference quantum corrections Drude conductivity independently on type precursor peculiaritie...

This is an example for the application of the LCAO method to bandstructure calculation. We will apply this method to a two-dimensional sheet of graphite, called graphene, and carbon nanotubes, which are slices of graphene rolled into a seamless cylinder. Graphene and carbon nanotubes (CN) have peculiar electronic properties, which can be derived by the LCAO method (also called tight-binding met...
