主 题:Edge-selective functionalization graphene energy filtered transmission electron microscopy(EFTEM) chemically-assisted exfoliation
摘 要:Thermally expanded graphite was functionalized with 4-bromophenyl addends using the in situ diazonium formation procedure,and after mild sonication treatment in N,N’-dimethylformamide,thin graphene layers were exfoliated from the bulk *** chemically-assisted exfoliated graphene(CEG)sheets had higher solubility than pristine graphene without any stabilizer *** than 70%of these soluble flakes had less than 5 *** filtered transmission electron microscopy(EFTEM)elemental mapping provided evidence of the edge-selective diazonium functionalization with graphene.A majority of the Br signals came from the edges of the CEG indicating that the basal planes were not highly *** CEG was also characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy,atomic force microscopy,Raman spectroscopy,and transmission electron microscopy.
