Graphene is a two-dimensional material defined as a planar honeycomb lattice of close-packed carbon atoms, where the electrons exhibit a linear dispersion near Dirac K points and behave as massless Dirac fermions. However, the valence and conduction bands in an AB stacked graphene bilayer split into two parabolic branches near the K point originating from the interaction of p electrons, and the...

The formation of three-dimensional shell-like structures with bilayer graphene walls is described. The structures are produced by the passage of an electric current through graphite in an arc-discharge apparatus. High resolution transmission electron microscopy is used to characterize the carbon, and provides evidence that the structures are threedimensional rather than flat. A striking feature...

to explore the possibility of using graphene based biosensor, adsorption of hydrogen peroxide on graphene has been investigated using density functional theory. the electronic properties of defect free and defective graphene in the presence of different number of hydrogen peroxide have been studied. the graphene with the most stable configuration defect named as sw defect is considered. the hig...

in this research, graphene was synthesized by chemical vapor deposition (cvd) method in atmosphere pressure (14.7 psi). different functionalization method was used for oxidizing of graphene such as acid and alkaline treatments. the functionalized graphene (fg) was characterized by ftir and raman spectroscopy. nanofluid with water and different concentration (0.05, 0.15 and 0.25 wt %) of fg were...

in this study, an efficient and facile technique for preparing graphene oxide in suspension and powder forms was presented based on a modification on hummers' method followed by an additional ultrasonic process. the method involved the provision of graphene oxide from graphite by reaction of potassium permanganate and sulfuric acid with stabilizing the medium complex. furthermore, this stu...

importance of covalent bonded two-dimensional monolayer nanostructures and also hydrocarbons is undeniably responsible for creation of new fascinating materials like polyphenylene polymer, a hydrocarbon super honeycomb network, so-called porous graphene. the mechanical properties of porous graphene such as its young’s modulus, poisson’s ratio and the bulk modulus as the determinative properties...
