چکیده
The development of a versatile method for nitrogen-doping of graphitic structure is an important challenge for many applications, such as energy conversions and storages and electronic devices. Here, we report a simple but efficient method for preparing nitrogen-doped graphene nanoplatelets via wet-chemical reactions. The reaction between monoketone (C═O) in graphene oxide (GO) and monoamine-containing compound produces imine (Shiff base) functionalized GO (iGO). The reaction between α-diketone in GO and 1,2-diamine (ortho-diamine)-containing compound gives stable pyrazine ring functionalized GO (pGO). Subsequent heat-treatments of iGO and pGO result in high-quality, nitrogen-doped graphene nanoplatelets to be designated as hiGO and hpGO, respectively. Of particular interest, hpGO was found to display the n-type field-effect transistor behavior with a charge neutral point (Dirac point) located at around -16 V. Furthermore, hpGO showed hole and electron mobilities as high as 11.5 and 12.4 cm(2)V(-1)s(-1), respectively.

Nitrogen fixation is essential for the synthesis of many important chemicals (e.g., fertilizers, explosives) and basic building blocks for all forms of life (e.g., nucleotides for DNA and RNA, amino acids for proteins). However, direct nitrogen fixation is challenging as nitrogen (N₂) does not easily react with other chemicals. By dry ball-milling graphite with N₂, we have discovered a simple, ...
