Selective release of less defective graphene structure during sliding of incompletely reduced graphene oxide coating on steel 10.1016/j.carbon.2018.04.022 2018-04-09 Recently, graphene has been gaining a lot of attention as a coating material that can be effectively utilized in reducing friction and wear of sliding components. In order to fully exploit the lubricious properties of graphene, the variation in the structure ...
Utilizing SO2 as self-installing gate to regulate the separation properties of porous graphenes 10.1016/j.carbon.2018.04.004 2018-04-03 We theoretically verify the reversible decoration of the pores of two-dimensional membranes to achieve tailorable separation. We show that SO2 molecules can be used as “self-installing”doors to dynamically adjust the pore size of porous graphene sheets. For H...
