Functionalized graphene has been extensively studied with the aim of tailoring properties for gas sensors, superconductors, supercapacitors, nanoelectronics, and spintronics. A bottleneck is capability to control carrier type density by doping. We demonstrate that a two-step process an efficient way dope graphene: create vacancies high-energy atom/ion bombardment fill these desired dopants. Different elements (Pt, Co, In) have successfully doped in single-atom form. The high binding energy...
Interaction between single noble metal atoms and graphene edges has been investigated via aberration-corrected monochromated transmission electron microscopy. A collective motion of the Au atom nearby carbon is observed in transition energy-favorable configurations. Most trapping detrapping processes are assisted by dangling atoms, which more susceptible to knock-on displacements irradiation. Thermal energy lower than activation barriers among different configurations, suggests electron-beam...
Vertical integration of hexagonal boron nitride ( h ‐BN) and graphene for the fabrication vertical field‐effect transistors or tunneling diodes has stimulated intense interest recently due to enhanced performance offered by combining an ultrathin dielectric with a semi‐metallic system.

Raman x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses revealed that species into generated more coordinate...
Electrides have been identified so far by two major routes: one is conversion of elemental metals and stoichiometric compounds high pressure; the other to search for electron-rich compounds, this approach more general. In contrast, few electron-deficient structures in existing databases revealed as potential electride candidates. work, we found an compound Ca5Pb3 could be transformed into electrides upon applying external pressure or strain along c-axis, which induces electron immigration...
Formation and evolution of active hydrogen species from H2 on a metal oxide is great importance in many hydrogenation reactions, while understanding the nature surface remains challenge. Herein, high-vacuum-based transmission infrared spectroscopy coupled with temperature-programmed desorption has been applied to study over ZnO ZnCrOx catalysts. We show that D2 dissociates readily form Zn–D O–D at 153 K, simultaneous occurs 223 K. This corroborates reversible dissociation recombination ZnO....
To understand structural and chemical properties of metal–graphene composites, it is crucial to unveil the bonding along interface. We provide direct experimental evidence atomic between typical metal nano structures graphene, agreeing well with density functional theory studies. Single Cr atoms are located in valleys a zigzag edge, few-atom ensembles preferentially form chains by self-assembly. Low migration barriers lead rich dynamics clusters under electron irradiation. demonstrate no...
