UNLABELLED We describe a facile, low-cost, and green method to fabricate porous graphene networks/nickel foam (PG/NF) electrodes by electrochemical deposition of graphene sheets on nickel foams (NFs) for the application of supercapacitor electrodes. The electrodeposition process was accomplished by electrochemical reduction of graphene oxide (GO) in its aqueous suspension. The resultant binder-...

We present a theory of electron-mediated interaction between adatoms in graphene. In the case of resonant scattering, relevant for hydrogenated graphene, a long-range 1/r interaction is found. This interaction can be viewed as a fermionic analog of the Casimir interaction, in which massless fermions play the role of photons. The interaction is an attraction or a repulsion depending on whether t...

The electronic structure of graphene-graphane superlattices with armchair interfaces is investigated with first-principles density-functional theory. By separately varying the widths, we find that the energy gap Eg is inversely proportional to the width of the graphene strip and that the gap increases as the hydrogenated strip becomes wider due to the enhanced confinement effect. It is further ...

Here, the possibility of existence nitro-graphene derivatives with undisturbed graphene backbone is considered. Based on first-principles calculation, it shown that while NO $$_2$$ unable to form a covalent bond bare graphene, becomes possible in some structures hydrogenated graphane, fluorographene, and oxide. This paper presents, among others, an analysis surrounding influence C-NO strength. ...

Copyright © Korean Carbon Society http://carbonlett.org Abstract Porous materials play a vital role in science and technology. The ability to control their pore structures at the atomic, molecular, and nanometer scales enable interactions with atoms, ions and molecules to occur throughout the bulk of the material, for practical applications. Three-dimensional (3D) porous carbon-based materials ...

Water transport through graphene-derived membranes has gained much interest recently due to its promising potential in filtration and separation applications. In this work, we explore water permeation in graphene oxide membranes using atomistic simulations and theoretical analysis, by considering flow through the interlayer gallery, expanded channels such as wrinkles of interedge spaces, and po...
