Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), which are two-dimensional (2D) layered materials, have been comprehensively studied as promising materials for the realization of various evolving applications such as optoelectronics and flexible electronics. High transport mobility, saturation velocity, and thermal conductivity make graphene a favorable material for high-frequency analog communication applications and quantum technologies. The true potential of 2D materials is believed to lie in the possibility of combining different materials to form a heterostructure, which offers excellent features that can be applied to next-generation electronic applications. Researchers have been exploring interesting physical phenomena and engineering applications for new ultrathin devices by creating 2D heterostructures by conventional mechanical exfoliation, CVD growth, and transferring materials to make stacks. The ambipolar properties of graphene provide opportunities for increased functionality in unconventional circuit architectures. People are trying to utilize this asset in different ways, but the most important aspects are the perfect growth of graphene, substrate preparation, transfer, and device fabrication. In electronic device preparation, it is critical to understand the properties of graphene.

This Special Issue welcomes papers on topics including but not limited to:

  • Growth of graphene and related 2D materials on different types of metals and insulators;
  • Growth of few-layer graphene and stacking with TMDs (heterostructures);
  • Ink-based techniques (graphene oxide, h-BN, etc.);
  • Wafer-scale integration for BOEL;
  • Cold- and hot-walled chemical vapor deposition techniques or other methods;
  • Clean transfer of graphene with different techniques;
  • Suitable substrate preparation;
  • Device fabrication;
  • Mobility measurements at room and low temperature;
  • Characterization of graphene by means of different techniques;
  • Application of graphene.

Iron tailings can be used as adsorbents to effectively remove graphene oxide (GO) in aqueous solutions. Experimental data show that pH, iron tailing quality, GO concentration and temperature have significant effects on the removal of GO, the adsorption of the tail involves a single layer adsorbed Langmuir model with exothermic reaction, and it compliance with the proposed dynamics model meets the requirements, the adsorption process is a spontaneous physical adsorption process. Combining scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), X-ray diffractometry (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) to analyze the iron tail according to the mechanisms of ore adsorption of GO, it was concluded that iron tailings might be a very promising material to effectively remove GO in aqueous solutions. The results of this research provide key information for the transportation and potential fate of GO in the natural environment. Full article
