Diagnostics of quality of graphene and spatial imaging of reactivity centers on carbon surface

Friday, May 8, 2015 - 07:30 in Physics & Chemistry

A convenient procedure to visualize defects on graphene layers by mapping the surface of carbon materials with an appropriate contrast agent was introduced by a team of researchers from Zelinsky Institute of Organic Chemistry of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Moscow) involved in international collaborative project. A new imaging tomography procedure has revealed organized patterns of defects on large areas of carbon surfaces. Several types of defects on the carbon surface can be "caught" and captured on the microscopic image within a few minutes. The article describing the research was published in Chemical Science, the journal of the Royal Society of Chemistry.
