Large-scale graphene nanomeshes (GNMs) were prepared using a simple acid reflux method. These porous GNMs exhibit tunable nanopore sizes, enhanced surface area, and strong catalytic activity, making them suitable for diverse applications.

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Nanotechnology
  • Chemical Engineering

Background:

  • Graphene nanomeshes (GNMs) are versatile materials with applications in catalysis, composites, sensors, and energy systems.
  • Scalable and cost-effective production methods are crucial for widespread GNM adoption.
  • Wet processing compatibility is desirable for practical GNM applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a large-scale preparation method for graphene nanomeshes (GNMs).
  • To investigate the effect of acid treatment on nanopore size and material properties.
  • To evaluate the catalytic activity and dispersibility of the synthesized GNMs.

Main Methods:

  • Refluxing reduced graphene oxide sheets in concentrated nitric acid (8 M).
  • Varying the duration of acid treatment to control nanopore diameters.
