We synthesized a new N-heterocylic carbene (NHC) and then conducted an in-depth study on how the carbene reacts with graphene. Theoretically, density functional theory was used to calculated the intermolecular interaction between the NHC and graphene. Experimentally, we have tried to physically exfoliate the graphene sheets with the NHC in an organic solvent. Then, various instrumental analyses such as Raman, ultraviolet-visible, and fluorescence spectroscopies were employed to characterize the NHC/graphene ensembles. It is believed that the NHC/graphene ensembles can be used as functional materials for various applications. |
