The 1 International Conference on Two-Dimensional Layered Materials The 1st International Conference on Two-Dimensional Layered Materials Abstracts October 12-15, 2014 Zhejiang Hotel, Hangzhou, China THE 1st INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON 2DMAT Graphene and Beyond: Attraction, Reality and Future Zhongfan Liu Center for Nanochemistry, Beijing Science and Engineering Center for Low Dimensional Carbon Materials, College of Chemistry and Molecular Engineering, Peking University, Beijing 100871, China E-mail: [email protected] Stimulated by graphene research, two dimensional (2D) atomic crystals have attracted great attentions these days. As a new category of materials dimensionality, various intriguing properties are expected for new sciences, new materials and new devices. There is huge space for exploration with these 2D materials. One of the key challenges including graphene itself at the current stage is still the synthesis of high-quality targeted 2D atomic crystals, which would determine how far we can go along this direction. We have been making great efforts on the chemical vapor deposition growth of graphene and other 2D atomic crystals since 2008 following a general concept of processing engineering. By rationally designing the growth catalysts and the elementary steps in the growth process, we have been able to make a precise control of graphene layer number, stacking structures, doping, wrinkle structures and even bandgaps by hybridization with different 2D materials. The accumulated experiences have also been applied to the growth of MoS2, WS2, h-BN and etc. The sp2 carbon network of graphene is chemically very stable and hence it is a great challenge for its chemical doping and tailoring. We are also working with a photochemical approach for graphene chemistry, where the chemical scissors are the highly reactive radicals generated from photochemical processes. A number of examples are given, including photochlorination, photomethylation, photocatalytic oxidation and Janus chemistry.

So graphene and its composite materials are expected to be used in high-performance energy storage devices. Synergistic effects between graphene and electrode materials and the beneficial roles of graphene in composite electrodes are widely found. It is demonstrated that, when the composites are used as electrode materials for lithium storage, compared to their individual constituents, graphene composites with unique structures such as anchoring, wrapping, encapsulating, sandwiching, buffering, layering and mixing have a significant improvement in their electrochemical properties such as high capacity, high rate capability and excellent cycling stability. The roles of graphene are considered to form a conductive network, increase electron and lithium ion conductivity, and anchor and trap electrode materials, and their efficiency is dependent upon how strong the interaction between graphene and electrode materials is. Graphene can also be used in flexible batteries and Li-S batteries. By coating active materials on a three-dimensional interconnected graphene framework (GF) developed at our lab, an anode and cathode were made to assemble a thin, lightweight and flexible lithium ion battery. The battery has shown high rate capability and capacity, and can be repeatedly bent down to <5 mm without failure and degradation of its electrochemical performance. We also designed a unique sandwich structure with pure sulfur between two graphene membranes for a Li-S battery to trap polysulfides. One graphene membrane was used as a current collector with sulfur coated on it as the active material, and the other graphene membrane was coated on a commercial polymer separator. The battery shows significant improvement in cyclability and capacity, because the electrode with two graphene membranes can provide rapid ion and electron transport paths, accommodate sulfur volumetric expansion and store and reuse migrating polysulfides to alleviate the shuttling effect. The fabrication of large-scale graphene materials has already been demonstrated, therefore, it is not too far from graphene materials to be used commercially for high-efficiency energy storage.

Chemical vapor deposition on metal crystals is widely used in the synthesis of graphene films duo to its combination of high quality and in large-scale. On the other hand, research on electronic properties of graphene is one of the most important topics of graphene. In this presentation, I will report a few recent results [16] on preparation of graphene in a controllable manner, and studies on its electronic properties.

Symposium A, October 13 | 6 THE 1st INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON 2DMAT Self-Assembly of Chemically Modified Graphene for Electrochemical Applications Wenjing Yuan, Liang Huang, Gaoquan Shi Department of Chemistry, Tsinghua University, Beijing 100084, China Chemically modified graphene (CMG) has attracted a great deal of attention in recent years because of its unique two-dimensional structure, high electrical conductivity and electrochemical stability, excellent mechanical property and processibility. It has a variety of electrochemical applications in electrocatalysis, electrochemical sensors, actuators, and energy related systems. However, the sizes of CMG sheets are usually in the range of submicrometer to several micrometers. Furthermore, the restacking of graphene sheets usually greatly decreases the specific areas of electrode materials. The electrochemistry of graphene sheets have also not been revealed clearly. In this report, I will describe the self-assembly of CMG sheets for electrochemical purposes. The applications of CMGs in electrochemical biosensors, gas sensors, electrocatalysis, electrochemical actuators and electrochemical capacitors will be discussed.

The electronic structure of the films was https://www.cambridge.org/core/terms investigated using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy for samples with m = 1, 2, 3, and 7 and compared to binary samples of TiSe2 and SnSe. The observed binding energies of core levels and valence bands of the heterostructures are largely independent of m. For the SnSe layers, we can observe a rigid band shift in the heterostructures compared to the binary, which can be explained by electron transfer from SnSe to TiSe2. The electronic structure of the TiSe2 layers shows a more complicated behavior, as a small shift can be observed in the valence band and Se3d spectra, but the Ti2p core level remains at a constant energy. Complementary UV photoemission spectroscopy measurements confirm a charge transfer mechanism where the SnSe layers donate electrons into empty Ti3d states at the Fermi energy.

  • Designing Isoelectronic Counterparts to Layered Group V Semiconductors
    Designing isoelectronic counterparts to layered group V semiconductors Zhen Zhu, Jie Guan, Dan Liu, and David Tom´anek∗ Physics and Astronomy Department, Michigan State University, East Lansing, Michigan 48824, USA In analogy to III-V compounds, which have significantly broadened the scope of group IV semi- conductors, we propose IV-VI compounds as isoelectronic counterparts to layered group V semi- conductors. Using ab initio density functional theory, we study yet unrealized structural phases of silicon mono-sulfide (SiS). We find the black-phosphorus-like α-SiS to be almost equally stable as the blue-phosphorus-like β-SiS. Both α-SiS and β-SiS monolayers display a significant, indirect band gap that depends sensitively on the in-layer strain. Unlike 2D semiconductors of group V elements with the corresponding nonplanar structure, different SiS allotropes show a strong polarization either within or normal to the layers. We find that SiS may form both lateral and vertical heterostructures with phosphorene at a very small energy penalty, offering an unprecedented tunability in structural and electronic properties of SiS-P compounds.

Rubenstein † Department of Chemistry, Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island 02912, United States ‡ Department of Physics, University of Arizona, Tucson, Arizona 85721, United States *S Supporting Information ABSTRACT: A majority of the electricity currently generated is regrettably lost as heat. Engineering high-efficiency thermo- electric materials which can convert waste heat back into electricity is therefore vital for reducing our energy fingerprint. ZT, a dimensionless figure of merit, acts as a beacon of promising thermoelectric materials. However, engineering materials with large ZT values is practically challenging, since maximizing ZT requires optimizing many interdepend- ent material properties. Motivated by recent studies on bulk indium selenide that suggest it may have favorable thermo- electric properties, here we present the thermoelectric properties of monolayer indium selenide in the presence of uniaxial strain using first-principles calculations conjoined with semiclassical Boltzmann transport theory. Our calculations indicate that conduction band convergence occurs at a compressive strain of −6% along the zigzag direction and results in an enhancement of ZT for p-type indium selenide at room temperature. Further enhancements occur at −7% as the valence bands similarly converge, reaching a maximum ZT value of 0.46, which is one of the largest monolayer InSe figures of merit recorded to date at room temperature. The importance of strain is directly reflected by the enhanced transport coefficients observed at strains nearing those which give rise to the band degeneracies we observe.

They exist within all three kingdoms of life. The functions of these proteins in biology are still being defined. In particular, the importance of selenoproteins in pathogenic microorganisms has received little attention. We first established that a nosocomial pathogen, Clostridium difficile, utilizes a selenoenzyme dependent pathway for energy metabolism.
