Fused Heterocyclic Molecule-Functionalized N-Doped Reduced Graphene Oxide by Non-Covalent Bonds for High-Performance Supercapacitors.

Indole molecules with fused heteroaromatic structures can be adsorbed on the N-doped graphene surface through the π-π interaction. Therefore, the indole-functionalized N-doped graphene (InFGN) with mesopores is successfully fabricated by a simple hydrothermal method and subsequent vacuum freeze-drying process. The microstructure, thickness, element composition, pore structure, and electrochemical performance of InFGN are analyzed via SEM, TEM, AFM, BET, UV-vis, FT-IR, XPS, Raman, XRD, and electrochemical technologies.

Two-dimensional layered lanthanide diphosphonates: synthesis, structures and sensing properties toward Fe and CrO.

A series of lanthanide diphosphonates, namely Ln(HL)(HO) (Ln = Nd 1, Eu 2, Tb 3 and Er 4), have been synthesized from a semirigid diphosphonate ligand, (5-methyl-1,3-phenylene)bis(methylene)bisphosphonic acid (HL). These lanthanide diphosphonates have been systematically characterized by using powder and single-crystal X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis, TGA, IR, UV-vis absorption and luminescence techniques. The single-crystal XRD measurements revealed that these compounds all have two-dimensional layered crystal structures.
