Measuring Nonlinear Properties Of Graphene Thin Films Using Z-Scan Technique, Thekrayat Hassan Al Abdulaal
Measuring Nonlinear Properties Of Graphene Thin Films Using Z-Scan Technique, Thekrayat Hassan Al Abdulaal
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
The nonlinear studies of two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials, specifically graphene, are very significant since graphene is finding its usefulness in handling the enormous heat in nanoscale high-density power electronics. Graphene has emerged to be a promising nanomaterial as an excellent heat spreader due to its high thermal conductivity. However, the experimental nonlinear study of graphene materials and their application in developing future optoelectronic devices demands for more developed research.
The research objective is first to build a precise, and sensitive technique to investigate and understand the thermal nonlinear properties, including nonlinear refractive index (n2), nonlinear absorption coefficient (β), and thermo-optic coefficient …
Preparation And Characterization Of Van Der Waals Heterostructures, Horacio Coy Diaz
Preparation And Characterization Of Van Der Waals Heterostructures, Horacio Coy Diaz
USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
In this dissertation different van der Waals heterostructures such as graphene-MoS2 and MoTe2-MoS2 were prepared and characterized. In the first heterostructure, polycrystalline graphene was synthesized by chemical vapor deposition and transferred on top of MoS2 single crystal. In the second heterostructure, MoTe2 monolayers were deposited on MoS2 by molecular beam epitaxy.
Characterization of graphene-MoS2 heterostructures was conducted by spin and angle resolve spectroscopy which showed that the electronic structure of the bulk MoS2 and graphene in this van der Waals heterostructures is modified. For MoS2 underneath the graphene, a band …
Visible-Light-Responsible Co-Catalysts Enhanced By Graphene For Solar Energy Harvesting, Chen Ying
Visible-Light-Responsible Co-Catalysts Enhanced By Graphene For Solar Energy Harvesting, Chen Ying
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
This study focuses on the visible light response of hetero-structures of TiO2-graphene- MoS2 for solar energy harvestings. The commercial P25 TiO2 nano-particles, and selfprepared layered reduced graphene oxides (RG) and MoS2 were assembled for the targeted hetero-structure materials as visible-light responsible solar harvesting cocatalysts. The hydrothermal method was applied for nano-material synthesis, the reduction of graphene oxides, and bonding formation. Multiple characterization methods (SEM-TEM, XRD, XPS, UV-VIS, PL, FT-IR, TGA) have been applied to understand the electron-hole pair separation and recombination, and performance tuning in their visible-light photo-catalysis rhodamine B (Rh.B) degradations process
Compared to TiO2, an obvious red shift …
Electrochemical H2O2Sensor Based On The Co-Immobilization Of Phosphmolybdic Acid And Graphene On Pedot Film Electrode With Nafion, Hao-Xian Zhou, Jun-Ming Zhang, Zhi-Yu Qu, Pan-Yu Zhang, You-Jun Fan
Electrochemical H2O2Sensor Based On The Co-Immobilization Of Phosphmolybdic Acid And Graphene On Pedot Film Electrode With Nafion, Hao-Xian Zhou, Jun-Ming Zhang, Zhi-Yu Qu, Pan-Yu Zhang, You-Jun Fan
Journal of Electrochemistry
With a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) as the substrate, the poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) film electrode was prepared through the electrochemical polymerization method, then a novel non-enzymatic electrochemical H2O2 sensor was fabricated by co-immobilizing phosphomolybdic acid and graphene with Nafion on the PEDOT/GCE electrode. The modified electrodes were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), while the responsive properties of the sensor to H2O2 were investigated by cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry. The results demonstrated that, under the optimized conditions, the sensor exhibited good electrocatalytic performance for H2O2 reduction. The current response of the sensor …
