Correlation between X-ray diffraction and Raman spectra of 16 commercial graphene-based materials and their resulting classification.

ABSTRACT: Structural properties of sixteen (16) commercial samples of graphene-based materials (GBM) labelled as graphene, graphene oxide or reduced graphene oxide are investigated at room temperature using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy. Based on the observed correlation between the results obtained with these two techniques, these samples are classified into three groups: Group A of seven samples consisting of graphitic nanosheets with evaluated thickness ≃20 nm and exhibiting both the 2H and 3R phases in XRD; Group B of six samples exhibiting XRD spectra characteristic of either graphene oxides (GO) or carbons with some order; and Group C of three samples with XRD spectra characteristic of disordered carbons. The relative intensities and widths of D, G, D', 2D and (D + D') bands in the Raman spectra are equally distinguishable between the samples in groups A, B and C. The width of the D-band is the smallest for Group A samples, intermediate for group B and the largest for group C samples. The intensity ratio I(D)/I(G) of the D and G bands in the Raman spectra of the samples is used to quantify the Raman-active defects whose concentration increases in going from samples in Group A to those in Group C.

Application of self-supervised approaches to the classification of X-ray diffraction spectra during phase transitions.

Project description:Spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction techniques encode ample information on investigated samples. The ability of rapidly and accurately extracting these enhances the means to steer the experiment, as well as the understanding of the underlying processes governing the experiment. It improves the efficiency of the experiment, and maximizes the scientific outcome. To address this, we introduce and validate three frameworks based on self-supervised learning which are capable of classifying 1D spectral curves using data transformations preserving the scientific content and only a small amount of data labeled by domain experts. In particular, in this work we focus on the identification of phase transitions in samples investigated by x-ray powder diffraction. We demonstrate that the three frameworks, based either on relational reasoning, contrastive learning, or a combination of the two, are capable of accurately identifying phase transitions. Furthermore, we discuss in detail the selection of data augmentation techniques, crucial to ensure that scientifically meaningful information is retained.

Raman Spectra Shift of Few-Layer IV-VI 2D Materials.

Project description:Raman spectroscopy is the most commonly used method to investigate structures of materials. Recently, few-layered IV-VI 2D materials (SnS, SnSe, GeS, and GeSe) have been found and ignited significant interest in electronic and optical applications. However, unlike few-layer graphene, in which its interlayer structures such as the number of its layers are confirmed through measurement of the Raman scattering, few-layer IV-VI 2D materials have not yet been developed to the point of understanding their interlayer structure. Here we performed first-principles calculations on Raman spectroscopy for few-layer IV-VI 2D materials. In addition to achieving consistent results with measurements of bulk structures, we revealed significant red and blue shifts of characteristic Raman modes up to 100?cm-1 associated with the layer number. These shifts of lattice vibrational modes originate from the change of the bond lengths between the metal atoms and chalcogen atoms through the change of the interlayer interactions. Particularly, our study shows weak covalent bonding between interlayers, making the evolution of Raman signals according to the thickness different from other vdW materials. Our results suggest a new way for obtaining information of layer structure of few-layer IV-VI 2D materials through Raman spectroscopy.

Raman Spectra of Luminescent Graphene Oxide (GO)-Phosphor Hybrid Nanoscrolls.

Project description:Graphene oxide (GO)-phosphor hybrid nanoscrolls were synthesized using a simple chemical method. The GO-phosphor ratio was varied to find the optimum ratio for enhanced optical characteristics of the hybrid. A scanning electron microscope analysis revealed that synthesized GO scrolls achieved a length of over 20 μm with interior cavities. The GO-phosphor hybrid is extensively analyzed using Raman spectroscopy, suggesting that various Raman combination modes are activated with the appearance of a low-frequency radial breathing-like mode (RBLM) of the type observed in carbon nanotubes. All of the synthesized GO-phosphor hybrids exhibit an intense luminescent emission around 540 nm along with a broad emission at approximately 400 nm, with the intensity ratio varying with the GO-phosphor ratio. The photoluminescence emissions were gauged using Commission Internationale d'Eclairage (CIE) coordinates and at an optimum ratio. The coordinates shift to the white region of the color spectra. Our study suggests that the GO-phosphor hybrid nanoscrolls are suitable candidates for light-emitting applications.

A library of ab initio Raman spectra for automated identification of 2D materials.

Project description:Raman spectroscopy is frequently used to identify composition, structure and layer thickness of 2D materials. Here, we describe an efficient first-principles workflow for calculating resonant first-order Raman spectra of solids within third-order perturbation theory employing a localized atomic orbital basis set. The method is used to obtain the Raman spectra of 733 different monolayers selected from the Computational 2D Materials Database (C2DB). We benchmark the computational scheme against available experimental data for 15 known monolayers. Furthermore, we propose an automatic procedure for identifying a material based on an input experimental Raman spectrum and apply it to the cases of MoS2 (H-phase) and WTe2 (T[Formula: see text]-phase). The Raman spectra of all materials at different excitation frequencies and polarization configurations are freely available from the C2DB. Our comprehensive and easily accessible library of ab initio Raman spectra should be valuable for both theoreticians and experimentalists in the field of 2D materials.

Femtosecond X-ray coherent diffraction of aligned amyloid fibrils on low background graphene.

Project description:Here we present a new approach to diffraction imaging of amyloid fibrils, combining a free-standing graphene support and single nanofocused X-ray pulses of femtosecond duration from an X-ray free-electron laser. Due to the very low background scattering from the graphene support and mutual alignment of filaments, diffraction from tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) filaments and amyloid protofibrils is obtained to 2.7 Å and 2.4 Å resolution in single diffraction patterns, respectively. Some TMV diffraction patterns exhibit asymmetry that indicates the presence of a limited number of axial rotations in the XFEL focus. Signal-to-noise levels from individual diffraction patterns are enhanced using computational alignment and merging, giving patterns that are superior to those obtainable from synchrotron radiation sources. We anticipate that our approach will be a starting point for further investigations into unsolved structures of filaments and other weakly scattering objects.

Modification of the Raman Spectra in Graphene-Based Nanofluids and Its Correlation with Thermal Properties.

Project description:It is well known that by dispersing nanoparticles in a fluid, the thermal conductivity of the resulting nanofluid tends to increase with the concentration of nanoparticles. However, it is not clear what the mechanism behind this phenomenon is. Raman spectroscopy is a characterization technique connecting the molecular and macroscopic world, and therefore, it can unravel the puzzling effect exerted by the nanomaterial on the fluid. In this work, we report on a comparative study on the thermal conductivity, vibrational spectra and viscosity of graphene nanofluids based on three different amides: N, N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc); N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF); and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone (NMP). A set of concentrations of highly stable surfactant-free graphene nanofluids developed in-house was prepared and characterized. A correlation between the modification of the vibrational spectra of the fluids and an increase in their thermal conductivity in the presence of graphene was confirmed. Furthermore, an explanation of the non-modification of the thermal conductivity in graphene-NMP nanofluids is given based on its structure and a peculiar arrangement of the fluid.

Synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction under high pressures up to 33 MPa for mechanoresponsive materials.

Project description:Equipment for synchrotron X-ray diffraction at high pressures up to 33 MPa with an accuracy of ±0.1 MPa using a liquid as a pressure-transmitting medium has been developed. This equipment enables atomic-scale observation of the structural change of mechanoresponsive materials under applied pressures. The validity of the equipment is demonstrated by observation of the pressure dependence of the lattice parameters of copper. The observed bulk modulus of copper was found to be 139 (13) GPa which is a good agreement with the literature value. The developed equipment was subsequently applied to a repeatable mechanoluminescence material, Li0.12Na0.88NbO3:Pr3+. The bulk modulus and compressibility along the a and c axes were determined as 79 (9) GPa, 0.0048 (6) GPa-1 and 0.0030 (9) GPa-1, respectively, for the R3c phase. The advance of high-pressure X-ray diffraction will play an important role in understanding mechanoresponsive materials towards their atomic-scale design.

Benzyne-functionalized graphene and graphite characterized by Raman spectroscopy and energy dispersive X-ray analysis.

Project description:The benzyne functionalization of chemical vapor deposition grown large area graphene and graphite was performed using a mixture of o-trimethylsilylphenyl triflate and cesium fluoride that react with the carbon surface. The reaction requires at least 2 days of treatment before the appearance of Raman and energy-dispersive X-ray spectral signatures that verify modification. Raman spectra of modified graphene and graphite show a rich structure of lines corresponding to C=C-C, C-H, and low frequency modes of surface-attached benzyne rings.

Distinguishing Zigzag and Armchair Edges on Graphene Nanoribbons by X-ray Photoelectron and Raman Spectroscopies.

Project description:Graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) have recently emerged as alternative 2D semiconductors owing to their fascinating electronic properties that include tunable band gaps and high charge-carrier mobilities. Identifying the atomic-scale edge structures of GNRs through structural investigations is very important to fully understand the electronic properties of these materials. Herein, we report an atomic-scale analysis of GNRs using simulated X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Raman spectroscopy. Tetracene with zigzag edges and chrysene with armchair edges were selected as initial model structures, and their XPS and Raman spectra were analyzed. Structurally expanded nanoribbons based on tetracene and chrysene, in which zigzag and armchair edges were combined in various ratios, were then simulated. The edge structures of chain-shaped nanoribbons composed only of either zigzag edges or armchair edges were distinguishable by XPS and Raman spectroscopy, depending on the edge type. It was also possible to distinguish planar nanoribbons consisting of both zigzag and armchair edges with zigzag/armchair ratios of 4:1 or 1:4, indicating that it is possible to analyze normally synthesized GNRs because their zigzag to armchair edge ratios are usually greater than 4 or less than 0.25. Our study on the precise identification of GNR edge structures by XPS and Raman spectroscopy provides the groundwork for the analysis of GNRs.
