Download or read book Chemical Modifications Of Graphene like Materials written by Nguyen Thanh Tien and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2023-12-27 with total page 605 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Graphene-like materials have attracted considerable interest in the fields of condensed-matter physics, chemistry, and materials science due to their interesting properties as well as the promise of a broad range of applications in energy storage, electronic, optoelectronic, and photonic devices.The contents present the diverse phenomena under development in the grand quasiparticle framework through the first-principles calculations. The critical mechanisms, the orbital hybridizations and spin configurations of graphene-like materials through the chemical adsorptions, intercalations, substitutions, decorations, and heterojunctions, are taken into account. Specifically, the hydrogen-, oxygen-, transition-metal- and rare-earth-dependent compounds are thoroughly explored for the unusual spin distributions. The developed theoretical framework yields concise physical, chemical, and material pictures. The delicate evaluations are thoroughly conducted on the optimal lattices, the atom- and spin-dominated energy bands, the orbital-dependent sub-envelope functions, the spatial charge distributions, the atom- orbital- and spin-projected density of states, the spin densities, the magnetic moments, and the rich optical excitations. All consistent quantities are successfully identified by the multi-orbital hybridizations in various chemical bonds and guest- and host-induced spin configurations.The scope of the book is sufficiently broad and deep in terms of the geometric, electronic, magnetic, and optical properties of 3D, 2D, 1D, and 0D graphene-like materials with different kinds of chemical modifications. How to evaluate and analyze the first-principles results is discussed in detail. The development of the theoretical framework, which can present the diversified physical, chemical, and material phenomena, is obviously illustrated for each unusual condensed-matter system. To achieve concise physical and chemical pictures, the direct and close combinations of the numerical simulations and the phenomenological models are made frequently available via thorough discussions. It provides an obvious strategy for the theoretical framework, very useful for science and engineering communities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carbon nanomaterials have garnered increasing attention in the past decade due to their multifunctionality. Graphene, a two-dimensional hexagonal lattice of sp2 hybridized carbons, has been of particular interest due to its high electrical and thermal conductivity as well as it mechanical robustness, good gas barrier properties, and antimicrobial properties. Derivatives of graphene, graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO), provide unique chemical landscapes of oxygenated moieties for targeted chemistry, and also allow for isolation of single nanosheets. The aim of this work was to explore the utilization of these chemical targets to provide novel and unexplored structures and properties through the unique capability of GO to assemble at fluid-fluid interfaces. In doing so, the use of GO as a nanosurface for polymerizations, composite enhancement, and surfactants for complex emulsions systems were defined. Herein, GO assembly at the interface of oil in water was used in combination with grafting to, grafting from, and grafting through polymerizations. This demonstrated that polymer brushes could successfully be attached on the surface of this nanomaterial through covalent means to prepare Janus nanosheets, as well as that GO could be incorporated to the surface of polymer particles. This interfacial assembly was then extended to feed materials for 3D printing and encapsulation of phase change materials. This demonstrated that rGO could be put at the surface of these materials and bestow electrical and thermal conductivity, to tailored and novel composites. Lastly, a facile process was developed to chemically modify GO nanosheets such that they can be dispersed in a variety of solvents. This allowed for the formation of stable oil-in-oil emulsions. This system was then used for emulsion polymerizations. Several polymeric architectures could be prepared by reactions in the oil-in-oil emulsions based on the phase location of the monomers; this process allowed for the incorporation of water sensitive reagents normally ignored in traditional oil-in-water emulsion reactions. The work reported herein provides a foundation from which to explore novel and useful materials architectures using fundamental chemical modifications.
Download or read book Graphene Materials written by George Kyzas and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2017-05-17 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Graphene is, basically, a single atomic layer of graphite, an abundant mineral that is an allotrope of carbon that is made up of very tightly bonded carbon atoms organized into a hexagonal lattice. What makes graphene so special is its sp2 hybridization and very thin atomic thickness (of 0.345 Nm). These properties are what enable graphene to break so many records in terms of strength, electricity, and heat conduction (as well as many others). This book gathers valuable information about the surface chemistry of graphene, some of its properties (electrical, mechanical, etc.), and many of its modifications that can be taken into account.

This book was released on 2021-01-25 with total page 1344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a broad and nuanced overview of the achievements and legacy of Professor William (“Bill”) Goddard in the field of computational materials and molecular science. Leading researchers from around the globe discuss Goddard’s work and its lasting impacts, which can be seen in today’s cutting-edge chemistry, materials science, and biology techniques. Each section of the book closes with an outline of the prospects for future developments. In the course of a career spanning more than 50 years, Goddard’s seminal work has led to dramatic advances in a diverse range of science and engineering fields. Presenting scientific essays and reflections by students, postdoctoral associates, collaborators and colleagues, the book describes the contributions of one of the world’s greatest materials and molecular scientists in the context of theory, experimentation, and applications, and examines his legacy in each area, from conceptualization (the first mile) to developments and extensions aimed at applications, and lastly to de novo design (the last mile). Goddard’s passion for science, his insights, and his ability to actively engage with his collaborators in bold initiatives is a model for us all. As he enters his second half-century of scientific research and education, this book inspires future generations of students and researchers to employ and extend these powerful techniques and insights to tackle today’s critical problems in biology, chemistry, and materials. Examples highlighted in the book include new materials for photocatalysts to convert water and CO2 into fuels, novel catalysts for the highly selective and active catalysis of alkanes to valuable organics, simulating the chemistry in film growth to develop two-dimensional functional films, and predicting ligand–protein binding and activation to enable the design of targeted drugs with minimal side effects.

This book was released on 2017-10-13 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book documents Professor Jacques Simonet's contribution to building new electrode materials and their related catalytic reactions. Research includes synthesis of new alloys of palladium, discovery of new composite electrodes (including gold- and silver-graphene) and the creation of new materials through judicious cathodic or anodic doping. Additionally, studies demonstrate the malleability and reactivity of previously unused precious and semi-precious metals for the creation of 2D and 3D catalytic materials. Studies key to innovative research show how transition metals may reversibly cathodically insert small size electro-active molecules such as CO2 and O2, and be applied to methods of depollution brought by carbon and nitrogen oxides.Written for practical use, Simonet has provided both theory and tools needed for those aiming to recreate and develop his experiments in electrochemical catalysis and surface modifications. This full publication of research gives graduate and post-graduate students of chemistry, electrochemistry and catalysis an in-depth insight into key historical and modern developments in the field.
