Aiming at molecular-based magnets, ferromagnetism of pure carbon-based materials is fundamentally and technologically extremely important for many applications. While it is still not fully understood, many recent theoretical works have suggested that one-atom-thick two-dimensional graphene materials may show ferromagnetism due to the existence of various defects or topological structures as the spin units and the possible long-range ordered coupling among them. Here, we report the experimental results on the ferromagnetism of graphene-based materials at room temperature. The observed room-temperature ferromagnetism is believed to come from the defects on graphene.
A novel hybrid material prepared from graphene and poly (3,4-ethyldioxythiophene) (PEDOT) shows excellent transparency, electrical conductivity, and good flexibility, together with high thermal stability and is easily processed in both water and organic solvents. Conductivities of the order of 0.2 S / cm and light transmittance of greater than 80% in the 400 1800 nm wavelength range were observed for fi lms with thickness of tens of nm. Practical applications in a variety of optoelectronic devices are thus expected for this transparent and fl exible conducting graphene-based hybrid material.
Have it BOth ways: Metal‐free anionic oxoboranes and Lewis acid stabilized oxoboranes that feature a formal BO double bond can be conveniently obtained from an N‐heterocyclic borinic acid in the presences of N‐heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) and Lewis acids, respectively (see picture).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
