After long-term ageing, the structure of graphene oxide prepared by the modified Hummers method changed. Because of the desorption of oxygen-containing functional groups, the C/O ratio of graphene oxide increased from 1.96 to 2. Read More

H selective dense pores are generated in a graphene oxide (GO) layer by thermal-decomposition of oxygen-functional groups under high pressure. The nanoporous GO membrane shows H/CO selectivity of 12.1 and H permeability of 10360 Barrer. Read More

A green and facile approach has been developed for the large-scale synthesis of nanosheets of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and nitrogenated reduced graphene oxide (N-rGO). This has been achieved by direct thermal decomposition of sucrose and glycine at 475 °C in ca. 7 minutes, respectively. Read More

Thermal defunctionalization of oxidized jellyfish-like few-layer graphene nanoflakes was studied under non-isothermal conditions by simultaneous thermal analysis. Activation energies for thermal decomposition of different oxygen functional groups were calculated by the Kissinger method and compared with those for oxidized carbon nanotubes. Oxygen content in graphene nanoflakes was found to significantly affect the decomposition activation energies of carboxylic and keto/hydroxy acids because of their acceptor properties and strong distortion of the graphene layers at the edges of the nanoflakes.

Ammonia borane (AB) is of great interest for storing hydrogen, an important issue in the growing field of hydrogen technology. The reaction pathways leading to the thermal decomposition of solid-state AB incorporated in carbon cryogels (CC) have been studied by spectroscopic methods. The time-dependent thermal decomposition was followed by in situ 11B nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and showed a significant increase in hydrogen release kinetics for AB in CC compared to neat AB.
