Changes in the electronic structure and properties of graphene induced by molecular charge-transfer

TL;DR: In this paper, a hybrid QDs ZCO/rGO electrodes exhibit an excellent initial discharge capacity for rechargeable lithium-ion batteries with high rate stability and high cyclic stability.

TL;DR: This study reports the attempt of improving dispersibility of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) through differential functionalization of carboxyl moieties with ethylene diamine (EDA) and folic acid (FA) using carbodimide chemistry, which could substantially minimize the incidence of disruptive protein-carrier interactions and thus inflate the biomedical potential of graphene materials.

TL;DR: Understanding of the non-covalent functionalisation of graphene with various fullerenes would promote experimentalists to explore these systems, for their possible applications in electronic and opto-electronic devices.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate theoretically and experimentally that atomically thin boron nitride (BN) nanosheets as an adsorbent experience conformational changes upon surface adorption of molecules, increasing adsorption energy and efficiency.

TL;DR: This study reports an experimental study of a condensed-matter system (graphene, a single atomic layer of carbon) in which electron transport is essentially governed by Dirac's (relativistic) equation and reveals a variety of unusual phenomena that are characteristic of two-dimensional Dirac fermions.

TL;DR: The status of graphene research is presented, which includes aspects related to synthesis, characterization, structure, and properties.

TL;DR: The process yields a wrinkled sheet structure resulting from reaction sites involved in oxidation and reduction processes, and functionalized graphene produced by this method is electrically conducting.
