Reversible conversion of dominant polarity in ambipolar polymer/graphene oxide hybrids.

ABSTRACT: The possibility to selectively modulate the charge carrier transport in semiconducting materials is extremely challenging for the development of high performance and low-power consuming logic circuits. Systematical control over the polarity (electrons and holes) in transistor based on solution processed layer by layer polymer/graphene oxide hybrid system has been demonstrated. The conversion degree of the polarity is well controlled and reversible by trapping the opposite carriers. Basically, an electron device is switched to be a hole only device or vice versa. Finally, a hybrid layer ambipolar inverter is demonstrated in which almost no leakage of opposite carrier is found. This hybrid material has wide range of applications in planar p-n junctions and logic circuits for high-throughput manufacturing of printed electronic circuits.

Redox mechanisms of conversion of Cr(VI) to Cr(III) by graphene oxide-polymer composite.

Project description:Alternative methods of aqueous chromium removal have been of great research interest in recent years as Cr (VI) is a highly toxic compound causing severe human health effects. To achieve better removal of Cr (VI), it is essential to understand the chemical reactions that lead to the successful removal of Cr species from the solution. Recent studies have demonstrated that graphene oxide (GO) based polymer beads cannot only adsorb Cr (VI) via electrostatic attractions but also reduce it to Cr (III), which is a much less toxic form of chromium. This conversion and the functional groups involved in this conversion, until now, were not elucidated. In the present study, we employed X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy to investigate the conversion pathway of Cr (VI) to Cr (III) in graphene-based polymer beads. The results showed that alcoholic groups are converted to carboxylic groups while reducing Cr (VI) to Cr (III). The inclusion of GO in the polymer beads dramatically increased the potential of Cr (VI) uptake and conversion to Cr (III), indicating polymers and nanomaterials containing alcohol groups can remove and convert chromium in water. Other functional groups present in the polymer bead play an important role in adsorption but are not involved in the conversion of Cr (VI) to Cr (III).

Charge polarity-dependent ion-insertion asymmetry during electrochemical doping of an ambipolar π-conjugated polymer.

Project description:Electrochemical doping is central to a host of important applications such as bio-sensing, neuromorphic computing and charge storage. However, the mechanisms that enable electrochemical dopability and the various parameters that control doping efficiencies are poorly understood. Here, employing complementary electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical measurements, we report a charge-polarity dependent ion insertion asymmetry in a diketopyrrolopyrrole-based ambipolar π-conjugated polymer. We argue that electrostatic interactions are insufficient to fully account for the observed charge-specific ion insertion into the polymer matrix. Using polymer side-chain dependent electrochemical doping studies, we show that electron density donating and accepting tendencies of polymer side-chains sufficiently describe the observed charge-polarity dependent electrochemical doping. Our observations are akin to the solvation of dopant ions by polymer side-chains. We propose that Gutmann donor/acceptor number framework qualifies the 'solvent-like' properties of polymer side-chains and provides a rational basis for designing π-conjugated polymers with favorable mixed ionic electronic transport properties.

Mesoporous Layered Graphene Oxide/Fe3O4/C3N3S3 Polymer Hybrids for Rapid Removal of Pb2+ and Cd2+ from Water.

Project description:Mesoporous layered magnetic hybrid GFP2 composed of C3N3S3 polymers, Fe3O4 nanoparticles (Fe3O4 NPs), and graphene oxide with a mesoporous layered "sandwich"-like structure was successfully explored by in situ simple polymerization tactic for rapid removal of Pb2+ and Cd2+ from water. It shows good selectivity and high adsorption capacity (277.78 and 49.75 mg/g) for Pb2+ and Cd2+, respectively. It exhibits the fast adsorption kinetics (>80% elimination efficiency in less than 30 min). The Langmuir isotherm model based on typical monomolecular layer adsorption fits better with the data of adsorption than the Freundlich isotherm model. The adsorption process of GFP2 for Pb2+ and Cd2+ can be explained well with the pseudo-second-order kinetics model. GFP2 is a kind of recyclable solid absorbent, which is an excellent candidate in the heavy metal wastewater treatment. More importantly, GFP2 was set with Fe3O4 NPs which makes it easily separable from wastewater with an extra magnet.

Bulk Polymer-Derived Ceramic Composites of Graphene Oxide.

Project description:Bulk polymer-derived ceramic (PDC) composites of SiCO with an embedded graphene network were produced using graphene-coated poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) foams as templates. The pyrolysis of green bodies containing cross-linked polysiloxane, PVA foams, and graphene oxide (GO) resulted in the decomposition of PVA foams, compression of GO layers, and formation of graphitic domains adjacent to GO within the SiCO composite, leading to SiCO composites with an embedded graphene network. The SiCO/GO composite, with about 1.5% GO in the ceramic matrix, offered an increase in the electrical conductivity by more than 4 orders of magnitude compared to that of pure SiCO ceramics. Additionally, the unique graphene network in the SiCO demonstrated a drop in the observed thermal conductivity of the composite (∼0.8 W m-1 K-1). Young's modulus of the as-fabricated SiCO/GO composites was found to be around 210 MPa, which is notably higher than the reported values for similar composites fabricated from only ceramic precursors and PVA foams. The present approach demonstrates a facile and cost-effective method of producing bulk PDC composites with high electrical conductivity, good thermal stability, and low thermal conductivity.

Controllable conversion of quasi-freestanding polymer chains to graphene nanoribbons.

Project description:In the bottom-up synthesis of graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) from self-assembled linear polymer intermediates, surface-assisted cyclodehydrogenations usually take place on catalytic metal surfaces. Here we demonstrate the formation of GNRs from quasi-freestanding polymers assisted by hole injections from a scanning tunnelling microscope (STM) tip. While catalytic cyclodehydrogenations typically occur in a domino-like conversion process during the thermal annealing, the hole-injection-assisted reactions happen at selective molecular sites controlled by the STM tip. The charge injections lower the cyclodehydrogenation barrier in the catalyst-free formation of graphitic lattices, and the orbital symmetry conservation rules favour hole rather than electron injections for the GNR formation. The created polymer-GNR intraribbon heterostructures have a type-I energy level alignment and strongly localized interfacial states. This finding points to a new route towards controllable synthesis of freestanding graphitic layers, facilitating the design of on-surface reactions for GNR-based structures.

Graphene Oxide/Ferrocene-Containing Polymer/Gold Nanoparticle Triple Nanocomposite.

Project description:A facile strategy to prepare GO-based nanocomposites with both gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and ferrocene (Fc) moieties was developed. The surface of GO was modified with PFcMAss homopolymer by surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization of a new methacrylate monomer of 2-((2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl)disulfanyl)ethyl ferrocene-carboxylate (FcMAss), consisting of disulfide as an anchoring group for stabilizing AuNPs and Fc group as an additional functionality. AuNPs with an average diameter of about 4.1 nm were formed in situ on the surface of PFcMAss-decorated GO (GO-PFcMAss) via Brust-Schiffrin method to give GO-PFcMAss-AuNPs multifunctional nanocomposites bearing GO, AuNPs and Fc groups. The obtained nanocomposites were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Since disulfide-containing polymers, rather than the commonly used thiol-containing compounds, were employed as ligands to stabilize AuNPs, much more stabilizing groups were attached onto the surface of GO, and thus more AuNPs were able to be introduced onto the surface of GO. Besides, polymeric chains on the surface of GO endowed GO-PFcMAss-AuNPs nanocomposites with excellent colloidal stability, and the usage of a disulfide group provides possibility to efficiently incorporate additional functionalities by easily modifying structure of disulfide-based monomer.

Vertically Transported Graphene Oxide for High-Performance Osmotic Energy Conversion.

Project description:Reverse electrodialysis is a promising method to harvest the osmotic energy stored between seawater and freshwater, but it has been a long-standing challenge to fabricate permselective membranes with the power density surpassing the industry benchmark of 5.0 W m-2 for half a century. Herein, a vertically transported graphene oxide (V-GO) with the combination of high ion selectivity and ultrafast ion permeation is reported, whose permeation is three orders of magnitude higher than the extensively studied horizontally transported GO (H-GO). By mixing artificial seawater and river water, an unprecedented high output power density of 10.6 W m-2 is obtained, outperforming all existing materials. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations reveal the mechanism of the ultrafast transport in V-GO results from the quick entering of ions and the large accessible area as well as the apparent short diffusion paths in V-GO. These results will facilitate the practical application of osmotic energy and bring an innovative design strategy for various systems involving ultrafast transport, such as filtration and catalysis.

Pure Graphene Oxide Doped Conducting Polymer Nanocomposite for Bio-interfacing.

Project description:Advanced materials that are highly biocompatible and easily modifiable with biomolecules are of great importance for bio-interfacing and the development of biodevices. Here, a biocompatible conducting polymer based nanocomposite was electrochemically synthesized through the electropolymerization of poly(3, 4-ethylene dioxythiophene) (PEDOT) in the presence of graphene oxide (GO) as the only dopant. GO contains many negatively charged carboxyl functional groups and is highly dispersible in aqueous solutions, enabling its facile incorporation and even distribution throughout the conducting polymer. PEDOT/GO films exhibited minimal cytotoxicity after 24 h and supported neuron growth with significantly longer neurites than a control PEDOT/PSS film, indicating that the PEDOT/GO film provides a positive growth signal to developing neurons. While some of the negatively charged functional carboxyl groups of GO "dope" the PEDOT, others are exposed freely on the surface of the nanocomposite allowing easy functionalization of the PEDOT/GO composite with biomolecules. Functional laminin peptide, RNIAEIIKDI (p20), was covalently bound to the surface of the PEDOT/GO film and maintained its bioactivity, as evidenced by an increased neurite outgrowth from neurons cultured on the functionalized composite surface. The ease of biomolecule functionalization of the PEDOT/GO nanocomposite, along with its low electrochemical impedance, minimal toxicity and permissiveness to neuron growth, underlines its potential as a material for widespread biosensing, neural interfacing and tissue engineering applications.

Reduced Graphene Oxide/Polymer Monolithic Materials for Selective CO2 Capture.

Project description:Polymer composite materials with hierarchical porous structure have been advancing in many different application fields due to excellent physico-chemical properties. However, their synthesis continues to be a highly energy-demanding and environmentally unfriendly process. This work reports a unique water based synthesis of monolithic 3D reduced graphene oxide (rGO) composite structures reinforced with poly(methyl methacrylate) polymer nanoparticles functionalized with epoxy functional groups. The method is based on reduction-induced self-assembly process performed at mild conditions. The textural properties and the surface chemistry of the monoliths were varied by changing the reaction conditions and quantity of added polymer to the structure. Moreover, the incorporation of the polymer into the structures improves the solvent resistance of the composites due to the formation of crosslinks between the polymer and the rGO. The monolithic composites were evaluated for selective capture of CO2. A balance between the specific surface area and the level of functionalization was found to be critical for obtaining high CO2 capacity and CO2/N2 selectivity. The polymer quantity affects the textural properties, thus lowering its amount the specific surface area and the amount of functional groups are higher. This affects positively the capacity for CO2 capture, thus, the maximum achieved was in the range 3.56-3.85 mmol/g at 1 atm and 25 °C.

Cu2O/reduced graphene oxide composites for the photocatalytic conversion of CO2.

Project description:A facile one-step microwave-assisted chemical method has been successfully used for the synthesis of Cu2O/reduced graphene oxide (RGO) composites. Photocatalytic CO2 reduction was then investigated on the junction under ambient conditions. The RGO coating dramatically increases Cu2O activity for CO2 photoreduction to result in a nearly six times higher activity than the optimized Cu2O and 50 times higher activity than the Cu2O/RuOx junction in the 20(th) hour. Furthermore, an apparent initial quantum yield of approximately 0.34 % at 400 nm has been achieved by the Cu2O/RGO junction for CO2 photoreduction. The photocurrent of the junction is nearly double that of the blank Cu2O photocathode. The improved activity together with the enhanced stability of Cu2O is attributed to the efficient charge separation and transfer to RGO as well as the protection function of RGO, which was proved by XRD, SEM, TEM, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, photo-electrochemical, photoluminescence, and impedance characterizations. This study further presents useful information for other photocatalyst modification for efficient CO2 reduction without the need for a noble-metal co-catalyst.
