Highly porous carbon has played an important role in tackling down the energy and environmental problems due to their attractive features such as high specific surface area (SSA), stability, mass productivity. Especially, desirable characteristics of highly lightweight, fast adsorption/desorption kinetics, SSA have attracted extensive attention "hydrogen storage" application which is a main bottleneck for realization on-board hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. We herein presented with hierarchical...
Hummers method has been used for 50 years to prepare graphene oxide (GO) by oxidizing graphite using Mn2O7. In this work, a new angle on is described. The oxidation procedure before the addition of water, which respected as main step method, named I oxidation, and widely ignored further after water II oxidation. chemical structural evolutions during was demonstrated first time various techniques including atomic force microscopy (AFM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), X-ray photoelectron...
A controlled assembly and alignment of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in a high-packing density with scalable way remains challenging. This paper focuses on the preparation self-assembled well-aligned CNTs densely packed nanostructure form buckypaper via simple filtration method.

We further demonstrated that horizontally aligned domain gradually increases size when increasing deposited quantity. resultant exhibited notably...
The self-assembled nanostructures of carbon nanomaterials possess a damage-tolerable architecture crucial for the inherent mechanical properties at both micro- and macroscopic levels. Bone, or "natural composite," has been known to have superior energy dissipation fracture resistance abilities due its unique load-bearing hybrid structure. However, few approaches emulated desirable structure using nanomaterials. In this paper, we present an approach in fabricating composite paper based on...
Reduced graphene oxide-based films were prepared to assess their effects as gas barriers on the stability of organic photovoltaic (OPV) devices. The direct spin-casting a oxide suspension onto an aluminum electrode was performed encapsulate associated OPV device with reduced film. lifetime after reduction process found be increased by factor 50. barrier properties layer are closely related its surface roughness and dispersibility. Furthermore, these can enhanced controlling thermal...
We prepared liquid phase exfoliated edge-selectively oxidized graphene (LPEOG) with a high concentration in water (∼14.7 mg ml-1) and ratio of single layer (70%). The edge graphite was selectively by step II oxidation the modified Hummers method, we subsequently (EOG) into LPEOG. selective LPEOG confirmed X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), diffraction (XRD), zeta-potentiometry, Raman spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR), atomic force microscopy (AFM), transmission electron...
Graphene oxide (GO) was recently reported to assemble into one-dimensional fiber precursors that can be used produce next-generation multifunctional graphene-based materials.

The Hansen solubility parameters (HSPs) of as-produced multi-walled carbon nanotubes (APMWCNTs) were determined by means the inverse gas chromatography (IGC) technique. Due to non-homogeneous surfaces APMWCNTs arising from defects and impurities, it was necessary establish adequate working conditions for determining HSPs CNTs. We then obtained compared these results with earlier reports as using sedimentation molecular dynamics simulation methods. It found that determination CNTs IGC can...
Carbon nanotube (CNT) dispersions have been prepared using a variety of surface modification methods; however, these methods frequently negative effect on the intrinsic properties CNTs or need to remove modifiers. The Flory-Huggins theory suggests that such problems can be alleviated eliminated, if ideally, when solubility parameters and given medium are very similar equal each other. Since earlier reported were determined by indirect varied in wide ranges, we suggested herein possible way...
