A novel approach for the rational synthesis of low-defect density, patterned graphene from the bottom up, called barrier-guided chemical vapor deposition, is introduced. A patterned barrier layer impedes the growth of graphene in selected areas of the copper substrate, guiding the growth of graphene into desired micro- and nano- structures with control over placement, orientation, and spatial and lateral extent.

We report a fast and straightforward preparation of centimeter-sized Cu(111) from polycrystalline Cu foil by the strain-free abnormal grain growth method and the subsequent growth of monolayer graphene by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). The fabrication of Cu(111) and graphene was streamlined into a straightforward process using a CVD system consisting of a tube furnace and a quartz boat. It was found that the annealing temperature and time are critical in the growth of Cu(111).

Nickel hydroxide has ultra-high energy storage capacity in supercapacitors, but poor electrical conductivity limits their further application. The use of graphene to improve its conductivity is an effective measure, but how to suppress the stacking of graphene and improve the overall performance of composite materials has become a new challenge. In this work, a well-designed substrate of N-doped carbon nanowires with reduced graphene oxide (NCNWs/rGO) was fabricated by growing polypyrrole (PPy) nanowires between GO nanosheets layers and then calcining them at high temperatures.

The growing demand for high-performance and cost-effective composite materials necessitates advanced computational approaches for optimizing their composition and properties. This study aimed at the application of machine learning for the prediction and optimization of the functional properties of composites based on a thermoplastic matrix with various fillers (two types of fibrous, four types of dispersed, and two types of nano-dispersed fillers). The experimental methods involved material production through powder metallurgy, further microstructural analysis, and mechanical and tribological testing.

Zinc-ion batteries become a major research focus in energy storage, valued for their low cost and high safety. However, their widespread application is hindered by poor zinc anode stability caused by dendrites, side reactions, and poor performance across a wide temperature range at a strong hydrogen bond network aqueous electrolyte. In this study, we propose a strategy for the synergistic combination of a polyacrylamide hydrogel with sucrose.

Nicosulfuron can repress the growth and quality of sweet corn (), and graphene oxide has been used for sustainable agriculture. However, the underlying mechanism of the toxicity of nicosulfuron that is mediated in sweet corn remains elusive. To explore the potential mechanism of GO-mediated nicosulfuron toxicity in sweet corn in this study, we investigated the effects of graphene oxide on nicosulfuron stress in the sweet corn sister inbred lines of H01 and H20.
