Converting benzene into γ-graphyne and its enhanced electrochemical oxygen evolution performance

Abstract

2D γ-graphyne is mechanosynthesized by using benzene and its effective oxygen evolution reaction performance is demonstrated.

Mechanochemical synthesis of N-doped porous carbon at room temperature

“…39,40 When the reaction is induced by ball milling rather than a preheated solid state mixture, the process is called mechanicallyinduced self-sustaining reaction (MSR) and is typically performed at room temperature. [41][42][43][44][45][46] Takacs 47 has nicely reviewed MSR for several systems. Basically, the process consists on a primary activation period during which size reduction; mixing and inclusion of defect take place.…”

On‐Surface Assembly of Hydrogen‐ and Halogen‐Bonded Supramolecular Graphyne‐Like Networks

“…[5] However,s trategies for the reliable synthesis of single-layer crystalline graphyne remain elusive. [6] Theb ottom-up synthesis on surfaces provides av ersatile approach for the growth of two-dimensional (2D) materials to fabricate novel carbon-based nanostructures that cannot be obtained by conventional solution chemistry.O ne of the key issues scientists presently are facing is the control of the alkyne coupling reactions on metal surfaces. [7] Theon-surface synthesis of graphyne-based structures that are directive in fabricating extended graphyne networks therefore attracted great interest recently.…”

On‐Surface Assembly of Hydrogen‐ and Halogen‐Bonded Supramolecular Graphyne‐Like Networks

“…Because of the well‐ordered porous structure, where the triple bonds provide chemisorption sites for metal adatoms and small molecules, the presence of a natural band gap, and the high degree of π‐conjugation, graphyne is expected to be an even more exciting material than graphene for applications in nanoelectronics, next‐generation batteries, hydrogen‐storage systems, and sensor devices . However, strategies for the reliable synthesis of single‐layer crystalline graphyne remain elusive . The bottom‐up synthesis on surfaces provides a versatile approach for the growth of two‐dimensional (2D) materials to fabricate novel carbon‐based nanostructures that cannot be obtained by conventional solution chemistry.…”
