Graphdiyne (GDY) is a new type of two-dimensional (2D) carbon materials, in which two benzene rings are chained by diacetylenic linkages (-C≡C-C≡C-). γ-GDY the most studied GDY due to its stable configuration and was experimentally obtained 2010 through cross coupling reaction using hexaethynylbenzene as precursor. Hydrogen substituted graphdiyne (HsGDY) 1, 3, 5-triethynylbenzene precursor simi...

Graphdiyne-modified TiO 2 nanofibers, which could be incorporated into orthopedic implants, have impressive self-antibacterial and osteoinductive abilities due to their efficient ROS production, favorable osteoblast adsorption, good biocompatibility.

Human macrophages are reprogrammed by graphdiyne oxide from M2 to M1 macrophages, leading degradation of GDYO through a peroxynitrite-driven pathway with subsequent modulation pro-inflammatory cytokines including IL-1?.

Searching for novel electrocatalysts that can replace precious platinum oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is important developing fuel cells. Recently, nitrogen (N) doped graphdiyne (GDY) has been synthesized and...

A nano-stitching method is proposed and investigated to modify graphene bilayers. Based this method, four types of low energy carbon allotropes, ”wormhole graphene” allotropoes, are obtained and their structures, stabilities and electronic properties are investigated using first principles methods. We find that all of these wormhole graphene allotropoes are more favorable than graphdiyne and dy...

Developing highly active catalysts for photo/electrocatalytic water splitting is an attractive strategy to produce H2 as a renewable energy source. In this study, new nickel boron oxide/graphdiyne (NiBi/GDY) hybrid catalyst was prepared by facile synthetic approach. Benefitting from the strong electron donating ability of graphdiyne, NiBi/GDY showed optimized electronic structure containing low...
