Article Abstract
A convenient covalent functionalization approach and nanopatterning method of graphite and graphene is developed. In contrast to expectations, electrochemically activated dediazotization of a mixture of two aryl diazonium compounds in aqueous media leads to a spatially inhomogeneous functionalization of graphitic surfaces, creating covalently modified surfaces with quasi-uniform spaced islands of pristine graphite or graphene, coined nanocorrals. Cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry approaches are compared. The average diameter (45-130 nm) and surface density (20-125 corrals/μm) of these nanocorrals are tunable. These chemically modified nanostructured graphitic (CMNG) surfaces are characterized by atomic force microscopy, scanning tunneling microscopy, Raman spectroscopy and microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Mechanisms leading to the formation of these CMNG surfaces are discussed. The potential of these surfaces to investigate supramolecular self-assembly and on-surface reactions under nanoconfinement conditions is demonstrated.

Ether-based electrolytes are widely acknowledged for their potential to form stable solid electrolyte interfaces (SEIs) for stable anode performance. However, conventional ether-based electrolytes have shown a tendency for cation-solvent co-intercalation phenomena on graphite electrodes, resulting in lower capacity and higher voltage platforms compared to those of neat cation insertion in ester-based electrolytes. In response, we propose the development of weakly solvating ether solvents to weaken the interaction between cations and solvents, thereby suppressing co-intercalation behavior.

Gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) are widely used in diverse technological and scientific applications due to their unique optical and catalytic properties. These properties are strongly influenced by the size, shape, composition, and/or concentration of the NPs, which in turn depend on the synthesis conditions. Therefore, the development of simple, cost-effective, and reliable analytical methods for their characterization is essential.

Dual-ion batteries (such as alkali metal ion-hexafluorophosphate anion systems) have demonstrated an excellent performance; however, identifying suitable cathode materials with superior electrochemical properties remains a major challenge impeding their advancement. In this work, the feasibility of biphenylite as a dual-ion battery cathode material is investigated systematically by first-principles calculations. The calculated result indicates that biphenylite has an ultrahigh cathode specific capacity for PF anions (107.

A novel molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP)-based electrochemical sensor has been developed for the selective detection of naringenin (NAR) in various real-world samples, including plant extracts, wine, and herbal supplements. To enhance the active surface area and porosity of the glassy carbon electrode (GCE), a 2D/0D nanocomposite composed of graphene oxide (GO) and cobalt ferrite (CFO) nanoparticles, CFO_GO, was incorporated into the sensor design. 4-aminobenzoic acid (4-ABA) was selected as the functional monomer to prepare the MIPs.

In order to develop an alternate material for energy storage devices like batteries, this research is being done to create polymer electrolytes based on cellulose as natural polymer. Natural polymers as battery components have a number of advantages, including availability, biodegradability, unleakage, stable form, superior process, electrochemical stability, and low cost. In this study, polymer electrolytes based on cellulose have been synthesized by solution casting to prepare a thin polymer films.
