Flexible and conductive MXene films and nanocomposites with high capacitance
Zheng Ling,Zheng Ling,Chang E. Ren,Meng-Qiang Zhao,Jian Yang,Jian Yang,James Giammarco,Jieshan Qiu,Michel W. Barsoum,Yury Gogotsi +9 more
TL;DR: This first report (to the authors' knowledge) on MXene composites of any kind, shows that adding polymer binders/spacers between atomically thin MXenes layers or reinforcing polymers with MXenes results in composite films that have excellent flexibility, good tensile and compressive strengths, and electrical conductivity that can be adjusted over a wide range.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanical properties of graphene and graphene-based nanocomposites
TL;DR: In this paper, the current status of the intrinsic mechanical properties of the graphene-family of materials along with the preparation and properties of bulk graphene-based nanocomposites is thoroughly examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chemical functionalization of graphene and its applications
TL;DR: A detailed review on the advances of chemical functionalization of graphene is presented in this article, where the surface modification of graphene oxide followed by reduction has been carried out to obtain functionalized graphene.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intrinsic ripples in graphene
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors address the nature of these height fluctuations by means of straightforward atomistic Monte Carlo simulations based on a very accurate many-body interatomic potential for carbon and find that ripples spontaneously appear due to thermal fluctuations with a size distribution peaked around 70 \AA which is compatible with experimental findings (50-100 \AA) but not with the current understanding of flexible membranes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Environmental applications of graphene-based nanomaterials.
TL;DR: This critical review assesses the recent developments in the use of graphene-based materials as sorbent or photocatalytic materials for environmental decontamination, as building blocks for next generation water treatment and desalination membranes, and as electrode materials for contaminant monitoring or removal.

Electric Field Effect in Atomically Thin Carbon Films
Kostya S. Novoselov,Andre K. Geim,Sergey V. Morozov,Da Jiang,Y. Zhang,S. V. Dubonos,Irina V. Grigorieva,A. A. Firsov +7 more
TL;DR: Monocrystalline graphitic films are found to be a two-dimensional semimetal with a tiny overlap between valence and conductance bands and they exhibit a strong ambipolar electric field effect.
Journal ArticleDOI
The rise of graphene
TL;DR: Owing to its unusual electronic spectrum, graphene has led to the emergence of a new paradigm of 'relativistic' condensed-matter physics, where quantum relativistic phenomena can now be mimicked and tested in table-top experiments.

TL;DR: In this paper, a colloidal suspension of exfoliated graphene oxide sheets in water with hydrazine hydrate results in their aggregation and subsequent formation of a high surface area carbon material which consists of thin graphene-based sheets.
