Journal ArticleDOI

Hydrazine and Thermal Reduction of Graphene Oxide: Reaction Mechanisms, Product Structures, and Reaction Design

TL;DR: In this article, the density functional theory method (M05-2X/6-31G(d)) was used to investigate reaction mechanisms for deoxygenation of graphene oxides with hydrazine or heat treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chemistry and physics of a single atomic layer: strategies and challenges for functionalization of graphene and graphene-based materials

TL;DR: This critical review describes some of the important chemical and physical processes for graphene functionalization and identifies six major challenges in graphene research.
Journal ArticleDOI

Differential Pd-nanocrystal facets demonstrate distinct antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.

TL;DR: Pd nanocrystals exhibit facet-dependent oxidase and peroxidase-like activities that endow them with excellent antibacterial properties via generation of reactive oxygen species, and a reverse trend of antibacterial activity is observed against Gram-negative bacteria.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanisms of Oxidase and Superoxide Dismutation-like Activities of Gold, Silver, Platinum, and Palladium, and Their Alloys: A General Way to the Activation of Molecular Oxygen

TL;DR: It is found that the simple reaction-dissociation of O2-supported on metal surfaces can profoundly account for the oxidase-like activities of the metals and pave a way to the rational design of mimetic enzymes based on metal nanomaterials.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanism of pH-switchable peroxidase and catalase-like activities of gold, silver, platinum and palladium

TL;DR: The mechanisms for both activities and their pH-switchability for metals Au, Ag, Pd and Pt are reported and suggest that both activities are intrinsic properties of metals, regardless of the surfaces and intersections of facets exposed to environments.
