Due to their excellent physical and chemical properties, graphene sheets are widely used in industry, which makes detection important to guarantee their performance. Atomic force microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and Raman spectroscopy are the most common detection methods, which is either time-consuming or easily destructive. In this work, we presented a fast and nondestructive method to detect single graphene sheets by using plasmonic imaging. Dual channel sampling plasmonic imaging combining the image processing algorithm is used to improve the deterioration from propagation length of surface plasmon polaritons and reconstruct the complete morphology of single graphene sheets. The fast and nondestructive detection method paves the way to applications of graphene, and can be extended to the detections of two-dimensional materials, single biological molecule, viruses, and nanomaterials.

Homogeneous mixtures undergo phase separation to generate rich heterogeneous structures as well as enable complex physiological activity and delicate design of artificial materials. Beyond free space, the strong coupling between migrating components and spatial confinement plays a crucial role in determining the essential spatial compartment of phase separation, warranting further continuous exploration. Herein, we report the selective phase separation (SPS) behavior of polymers under a mobile two-dimensional (2D) confinement by graphene oxide (GO) sheets.

Hypothesis: Understanding the Langmuir film formation process of flexible and soft materials like graphene oxide (GO) is essential, as it shows different trends compared to the conventional surface pressure-area (π-A) and compressional modulus (ε) isotherms of hard materials. Additionally, the size distribution and mechanical properties of the GO are assumed to affect the distinctive Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) film morphologies, such as overlaps and wrinkles.
Experiment: To gain a deeper insights of phase transitions in GO LB films, we propose a novel analysis of elastic tensile modulus versus surface pressure (|ε|-π) isotherms.

This study presents a novel nanostructured material formed by inserting oxidized carbon nanohorns (CNHox) between layered graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets using metal ions (M) from nitrate as intermediates. The resulting GO-CNHox-M structure effectively mitigated interlayer aggregation of the GO nanosheets. This insertion strategy promoted the formation of nanowindows on the surface of the GO sheets and larger mesopores between the GO nanosheets, improving material porosity.

The discovery of fullerene following the synthesis of graphene marked a paradigm shift in chemistry. Here, we report the discovery of biycycloborane, arising from the synthesis of borophane (hydrogen boride). Uniquely, this synthesis method involves a decomposition mechanism rather than traditional atom-by-atom assembly, marking an unique approach to constructing complex borane structures.
