Functionalized Graphene Materials and Their Applications (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9789819806072)

This book proposes the systematic classification and exact definition of all the products from graphene functionalization, which are illustrated by several representative examples. Additionally, the corresponding preparation strategies of functionalizing graphene are summarized and are demonstrated by some typical approaches. All the products from graphene functionalization are defined as functionalized graphene materials, which fall into two categories: functionalized graphene and functionalized graphene composite. Functionalized graphene is the product of modifying graphene by tuning its composition, framework, dimension, and morphology, and functionalized graphene composites are hybrids of graphene (or functionalized graphene) with other materials, including small molecules, polymers, metals, inorganic compounds, and carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Functionalized graphene materials are prepared through two strategies: 'top-down' and 'bottom-up, ' each of which has its advantages and shortcomings and includes many corresponding preparation methods. The selection of preparation strategies depends on the application requirements, as different applications require different types of graphene. Both strategies are elucidated with detailed examples through an extensive analysis of the literature. Finally, the major challenges and perspectives of functionalized graphene materials are discussed.
