A novel electrochemical method for the synthesis of boron doped graphene in the molten salt electrolyte

Advances in the synthesis of heteroatom-doped graphene-based materials and their application in sensors, adsorbents and catalysis

“…2.1.6 Electrochemical method. A novel approach to the synthesis of BG based on the electrochemical oxidation of boron carbide in a molten electrolyte consisting of alkali metal halides on the surface of platinum was advanced by Yolshina et al 98 They reported on the preparation of BG defect-free large films by electrochemical synthesis in molten alkali chlorides. Li et al 95 reported using electrochemical methods to prepare SG sheets, combining graphite exfoliation and in situ sulfur doping.…”

A simple synthesis of sulfur-doped graphene using sulfur powder by chemical vapor deposition

“…6,7 Recently, doping of carbon materials such as graphene, CNTs and porous carbon materials with various heteroatoms (such as N, B, P and S) has been a promising approach to tailor the electronic properties of the sp 2 carbon structures and enhance the electrochemical and physical properties of the product. [8][9][10][11][12] Generally, B-doped carbon nanomaterials could act as p-type and N-or S-doped carbon nanomaterials could act as n-type conductors. [13][14][15][16][17] Theoretical studies showed that the substitutional doping can change the energy gap of carbon nanostructures, leading to change their conductivity and chemical reactivity.…”
