Controlled Gelation of Graphene Towards Unprecedented Superstructures.

چکیده
Graphene exhibits a range of exceptional physical properties and holds great promise for development of novel bulk materials for widespread applications. Properly engineering of assembled structures of graphene at multiple length scales is essential to realize its full potential in bulk forms. In this Concept article, we highlight the unique colloidal and gelation behavior of a commonly used precursor for graphene, graphene oxide (GO), and discuss how the colloidal chemistry of GO and reduced GO can enable new scalable and cost-effective approaches to construct graphene-based soft superstructures with excellent properties.

Structural and Electronic Properties of Epitaxial Graphene Superstructures on Transition Metal Surfaces: The Role of the Pinning Points
Graphene growth on metal surfaces is one of the most promising routes towards scalable production of high-quality graphene suitable for industrial applications. Conventionally, the growth of graphene is carried out on weakly interacting surfaces – typically Cu foils – where the substrate plays a double role: first, as a catalyst; and second, as an easy-to-remove platform. Several substrates are...
متن کاملInfluence of interface interaction on the moiré superstructures of graphene on transition-metal substrates
The formation of moiré superstructures between graphene and its underlying substrate has attracted significant attention because it significantly influences the morphology and properties of graphene. Through the density functional theory (DFT) calculations conducted on graphene/Re(0001) and graphene/Ir(111) moiré superstructures, we found that in contrast to the strain-driven moiré superstructu...
متن کاملOxygen orders differently under graphene: new superstructures on Ir(111).
Using scanning tunneling microscopy, the oxygen adsorbate superstructures on bare Ir(111) are identified and compared to the ones formed by intercalation in between graphene and the Ir(111) substrate. For bare Ir(111) we observe O-(2 × 2) and O-(2 × 1) structures, thereby clarifying a persistent uncertainty about the existence of these structures and the role of defects for their stability. For...
متن کاملSize-selected monodisperse nanoclusters on supported graphene: bonding, isomerism, and mobility.
Soft-landing of size-selected Pd(n) (n ≤ 20) nanoclusters on a Moiré-patterned surface of graphene adsorbed on Ru(0001) leads to controlled formation of a truly monodisperse cluster-assembled material. Combined scanning tunneling microscopy and first-principles calculations allow identification of selective adsorption sites, characterization of size-dependent cluster isomers, and exploration of...
متن کاملManipulating Size of Li3V2(PO4)3 with Reduced Graphene Oxide: towards High-Performance Composite Cathode for Lithium Ion Batteries
Lithium vanadium phosphate (Li3V2(PO4)3, LVP)/reduced graphene oxide (rGO) composite is prepared with a rheological method followed by heat treatment. The size and interface of LVP particles, two important merits for a cathode material, can be effectively tuned by the rGO in the composite, which plays as surfactant to assist sol-gelation and simultaneously as conductive carbon coating. As a con...
