Download or read book Surface Functionalization of 2D Nanomaterials written by Alicia Marie Tripp and published by . This book was released on 2024 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding the fundamental surface chemistry and reactivity of technologically relevant 2D nanomaterials is essential for the improvement of current nanomaterials and the design of novel materials in the future. Black phosphorus (BP) and MXenes are 2D materials that are growing in popularity due to their unique physical and chemical properties. They have great technological promise, and in order for them to reach their full potential in various applications such as sensing, contamination remediation, and energy storage, their interactions with surrounding matrices and molecular species must be controlled. Because the surface of these materials is the first to interact with their surroundings, successful manipulation and control over their surface chemistry is necessary to control their interactions. The grafting of organic molecular layers onto nanomaterial surfaces has proven to be a valuable strategy to control material properties and their interactions with their surrounding environment. Herein, we present new strategies to covalently bind organic molecules to BP and Ti3C2Tx MXene surfaces. Changes in surface chemistry that occurred during functionalization procedures were monitored and quantified using extensive X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) studies. We investigated light-induced grafting of terminal alkenes to BP surfaces using 1H-1H-2H-perfluoro-1-decene (PFD) as a model alkene. Our results for PFD show that the reaction is self-terminating and exhibits monolayer coverages. Additionally, we show that the reaction does not induce significant surface oxidation. We propose a molecular bonding configuration and mechanism for this reaction that aligns with the results of past studies on photochemical functionalization of terminal alkenes to semiconductor and carbon surfaces. We also investigated the generalizability of this reaction using 1-decene and allylpentafluorobenzene. In our studies of these two molecules, we determined that there is preferential adsorption of carbon oxide species to pristine black phosphorus surfaces, which hinders surface functionalization. While this finding presents a challenge towards the application of this chemistry to different organic molecules, it is a valuable insight into the surface reactivity of black phosphorus. We also investigated the thermal grafting of primary alkyl halides to 2D Ti3C2Tx MXene surfaces using 6-bromohexanenitrile (6BHN) as a model molecule. Our XPS data for 6BHN show that while a small amount of spontaneous grafting may occur, the reaction is greatly enhanced with heat and results in sizable surface coverages. Our results suggest that there are likely two grafting modes that occur on the surface: one at the terminal Br-C site at short time scales and the other at the nitrile end of the molecule at longer time scales. Additionally, our functionalization methods were shown to not oxidize the MXene surface. We further investigated the reactivity of primary halides on MXene surfaces using 1-iodooctane and 1-bromooctane. The observed similarities between their reactivity and that of 6BHN indicate that this chemistry can be generalized to other primary iodides and bromides.

Download or read book Understanding Environmental Stability of Two dimensional Materials and Extending Their Shelf Life by Surface Functionalization written by Sijie Yang and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the discovery of graphene, two dimensional materials (2D materials) have become a focus of interest for material research due to their many unique physical properties embedded in their 2D structure. While they host many exciting potential applications, some of these 2D materials are subject to environmental instability issues induced by interaction between material and gas molecules in air, which poses a barrier to further application and manufacture. To overcome this, it is necessary to understand the origin of material instability and interaction with molecules commonly found in air, as well as developing a reproducible and manufacturing compatible method to post-process these materials to extend their lifetime. In this work, the very first investigation on environmental stability on Te containing anisotropic 2D materials such as GaTe and ZrTe3 is reported. Experimental results have demonstrated that freshly exfoliated GaTe quickly deteriorate in air, during which the Raman spectrum, surface morphology, and surface chemistry undergo drastic changes. Environmental Raman spectroscopy and XPS measurements demonstrate that H2O molecules in air interact strongly on the surface while O2, N2, and inert gases don't show any detrimental effects on GaTe surface. Moreover, the anisotropic properties of GaTe slowly disappear during the aging process. To prevent this gas/material interaction based surface transformation, diazonium based surface functionalization is adopted on these Te based 2D materials. Environmental Raman spectroscopy results demonstrate that the stability of functionalized Te based 2D materials exhibit much higher stability both in ambient and extreme conditions. Meanwhile, PL spectroscopy, angle resolved Raman spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy measurements confirm that many attractive physical properties of the material are not affected by surface functionalization. Overall, these findings unveil the degradation mechanism of Te based 2D materials as well as provide a way to significantly enhance their environmental stability through an inexpensive and reproducible surface chemical functionalization route.
