Characteristics, properties, synthesis and advanced applications of 2D graphdiyne versus graphene

Abstract

Like graphene, graphdiyne is a newly discovered two-dimensional planar carbon allotrope with uniform pores and highly π-conjugated interactions. It shows a lot of affinities with graphene in properties and applications....

Graphdiyne-based photocatalysts for solar fuel production

“…First, graphdiyne is less stable than graphene in terms of energy. 117 This is related to the acetylenic bonds in graphdiyne. 51 Fig.…”

“…Seventh, the thermal conductivity of graphdiyne is significantly lower than that of graphene. 117 Therefore, graphdiyne as a local hotspot in photocatalysts can facilitate photocatalytic reactions through a photothermal effect. 103…”

“…Second, the carrier mobility of graphdiyne, both along the zigzag and armchair directions, is lower than that of graphene. 117…”

“…Seventh, the thermal conductivity of graphdiyne is significantly lower than that of graphene. 117 Therefore, graphdiyne as a local hotspot in photocatalysts can facilitate photocatalytic reactions through a photothermal effect. 103 Although graphdiyne exhibits excellent properties in many aspects, a rational attitude towards graphdiyne should be held.…”

Novel charm of 2D materials engineering in memristor: when electronics encounter layered morphology

“…Furthermore, the activity of biological synapses to allow the programming of time contingent signals among neural networks is crucial for the validation of spiking neural networks intended for consistent processes. 31 The synapses can be realized utilizing several designs, including the complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor transistor 32 and memristors. 33 Of these, memristors are considered the most promising applicants in neuromorphic engineering due to their inherent competence to recall the historical information previously sent in the form of electrical signals.…”
