Superlattices have attracted great interest because of their tailorable electronic properties at the interface. However, the lack of an efficient and low-cost synthetic method represents a huge challenge to implement superlattices into practical applications. Herein, we report a space-confined nanoreactor strategy to synthesize flexible freestanding graphene-based superlattice nanosheets, which...

Oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is an important reaction in energy conversion systems such as fuel cells and metal-air batteries. Carbon nanomaterials doped with heteroatoms are highly attractive materials for use as electrocatalysts by virtue of their excellent electrocatalytic activity, high conductivity, and large surface area. This study reports the synthesis of highly efficient electrocata...

a graphene nanosheets (gns) film coated glassy carbon electrode (gce) was fabricated for sensitive determination of tyrosine (tyr). the gns-based sensor was characterized by scanning electron microscope and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. the voltammetric techniques were employed to study electro-oxidation of tyr. the results revealed that the modified electrode showed an electrocatalyt...

graphene, a new member of the carbon family, was used as an adsorbent due to its exceptional capability to remove rhodamine b (rb) and malachite green (mg), two organic dyes, from aqueous solutions. adsorption kinetics of rb and mg onto graphene and adsorption capacity of the adsorbent were studied. also the effects of parameters, including ph, contact time, temperature, and adsorbent dosage we...

Heat dissipation is a very critical problem for designing nano-functional devices, including MoS2/graphene heterojunctions. In this paper we investigate thermal transport in MoS2/graphene hybrid nanosheets under various heating conditions, by using molecular dynamics simulation. Diverse transport processes and characteristics, depending on the conducting layers, are found in these structures. T...

Silica mesoporous nanocomposite films containing graphene nanosheets and gold nanoparticles have been prepared via a one-pot synthesis using silicon tetrachloride, gold(III) chloride tetrahydrate, a 1-N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone dispersion of exfoliated graphene and Pluronic F127 as a structuring agent. The composite films have shown graphene-mediated surface-enhanced Raman scattering (G-SERS). Graph...

High quality and naturally continuous structure of three-dimensional graphene network (3DGN) endow it a promising candidate to modify TiO2. Although the resulting composite photocatalysts display outstanding performances, the lacking of active sites of the 3DGN not only goes against a close contact between the graphene basal plane and TiO2 nanoparticles (weaken electron transport ability) but a...

this paper was aimed to address the modeling of effective thermal conductivity and viscosity of carbon structured nanofluids. response surface methodology, d_optimal design (dod) was employed to assess the main and interactive effects of temperature (t) and weight percentage (wt %) to model effective thermal conductivity and viscosity of multi wall and single wall carbon nanotube, cvd and rgo g...
