Hi, I want to design a 2d graphene nanoporous sheet with adding functionalized group at the edge of the nanopore. I am using the Material Studio package. Would someone please guide me on how to add (-OH) group at the nanopore by using Material Studio.
Dear Jaber Al Hossain
Greetings
If you prepare RGO (reduced Graphene oxide) from GO , then automatically you will find these functional groups. Graphene oxide is a single layer of graphite oxide. The chemical oxidation of graphite and its subsequent exfoliation in water results in single-layered GO sheets . Graphene oxide contains a mixture of sp2- and sp3- hybridized carbon (C) atoms decorated with oxygen-containing functionalities. These functional groups include hydroxyl (C–OH) and epoxide (C–O–C) functional groups on the basal plane and carbonyl (C=O)) and carboxyl (COOH) groups at the sheet edges.
You can control the degree of oxidation and thus the conc. of -OH groups by using variable oxidizing agents.
