Graphene thin films have great potential to function as transparent electrodes in organic electronic devices, due to their excellent conductivity and high transparency. Recently, organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs)have been successfully demonstrated to possess high luminous efficiencies with p-doped graphene anodes. However, reliable methods to fabricate n-doped graphene cathodes have been la...

To compare the catalytic oxidation activities of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and rGO samples doped with five different transition metals (TM-rGO), we determine their effects on the oxidation of L-cysteine (Cys) in aqueous solution by performing electrochemistry (EC) measurements and on the photocatalytic oxidation of Cys by using high-resolution photoemission spectroscopy (HRPES) under UV illu...

Bi Doped Graphene In article number 2206218, Xianyang Lu, Thomas Frauenheim, Yongbing Xu, and co-workers investigate femtosecond laser excitation induced electronic dynamic in doped graphene, using time resolved angular photoemission spectrum. The Fermi surface Dirac cone carrier concentration is modulated by adatoms' content. This effectively tailors the competition between auger combination i...

In this investigation, the influence of doping graphene with silicon in the adsorption of alanine amino acid was inspected computationally. For this purpose, the structures of pure graphene, silicon doped graphene, alanine and 10 derived products of the alanine reaction with pure and silicon doped nano-adsorbents were optimized geometrically. Afterwards, the values of adsorption energy, formati...

Doping graphene with heteroatoms can alter the electronic and electrochemical properties of the starting material. Contrasting properties should be expected when the doping is carried out with electron donating species (n-type dopants) or with electron withdrawing species (p-type dopants). This in turn can have a profound influence on the electroanalytical performance of the doped material bein...

We demonstrate a controlled growth of nitrogen-doped graphene layers by liquid precursor based chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technique. Nitrogen-doped graphene was grown directly on Cu current collectors and studied for its reversible Li-ion intercalation properties. Reversible discharge capacity of N-doped graphene is almost double compared to pristine graphene due to the large number of sur...

Nitrogen-doped (N-doped) graphene has been prepared by a simple one-step hydrothermal approach using hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA) as single carbon and nitrogen source. In this hydrothermal process, HMTA pyrolyzes at high temperature and the N-doped graphene subsequently self-assembles on the surface of MgO particles (formed by the Mg powder reacting with H2O) during which graphene synthesis an...

Carrier doping of graphene is one of the most challenging issues that needs to be solved to enable its use in various applications. We developed a carrier doping method using radical-assisted conjugated organic molecules in the liquid phase and demonstrated all-wet fabrication process of doped graphene films without any vacuum process. Charge transfer interaction between graphene and dopant mol...

Density functional theory (DFT) was applied to study sulfur-doped graphene clusters as oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) cathode catalysts for fuel cells. Several sulfurdoped graphene clusters with/without Stone−Wales defects were investigated and their electronic structures, reaction free energy, transition states, and energy barriers were calculated to predict their catalytic properties. The re...

This work describes the fabrication of poly(4-styrenesulfonic acid)-doped polyaniline/graphene (PSS-doped PANI/graphene) nanocomposites and their use as sensing elements for hydrogen sulfide (H2S) detection. PSS with a weight-average molecular weight (Mw) of 1.96 × 10(6) was synthesized using low-temperature free-radical polymerization. The PSS was used as both a doping agent and a binding agen...
