Graphene and graphene oxide and their uses in barrier polymers
TL;DR: A review of the state-of-the-art research on the use of graphene, GO, and rGO for barrier applications, including few-layered graphene or its derivatives in coated polymeric films and polymer nanocomposites consisting of chemically exfoliated GO and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanosheets, and their gas-barrier properties is presented in this article.

Diffusion, Coalescence, and Reconstruction of Vacancy Defects in Graphene Layers
TL;DR: In this paper, Zhou et al. investigated the simulation of vacancy defects in graphene layers and showed that two single vacancies coalesce into a 5-8-5 double vacancy at the temperature of 3000 K, and four single vacancies reconstruct into two collective 555-777 defects at higher temperatures.

Surface chemistry and catalysis confined under two-dimensional materials
TL;DR: The confinement effect of the 2D cover leads to new chemistry in a small space, such as "catalysis under cover" and "electrochemistry under cover", which enable us to design advanced nanocatalysts encapsulated with 2D material shells which may present improved performance in many important processes of heterogeneous catalysis, electrochemistry, and energy conversion.

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
Helical microtubules of graphitic carbon
TL;DR: Iijima et al. as mentioned in this paper reported the preparation of a new type of finite carbon structure consisting of needle-like tubes, which were produced using an arc-discharge evaporation method similar to that used for fullerene synthesis.
