A Phenomenological Model for Self-rippling Energy of Free Graphene Monolayer and Its Application
DownloadSpring 2018
Several candidate phenomenological expressions are studied for self-rippling energy that drives ripple formation of free single-layer graphene sheets. One phenomenological expression is admittedbased on the stability criterion of periodic ripple mode, while all others are rejected because they...

CVD grown nitrogen doped graphene is an exceptional visible-light driven photocatalyst for surface catalytic reactions
Download2019-09-17
The photocatalytic potential of large area CVD grown nitrogen doped graphene (NGr) has been explored though the chemical transformation of 4-nitrobenzene thiol into p,p'-dimercaptoazobenzene. Decoration of NGr with Ag nanocubes with rounded edges to form NGr/Ag nanohybrids resulted in a slight...
