    (Weinheim : Wiley-VCH, 2020) Ullah, Sami; Shi, Qitao; Zhou, Junhua; Yang, Xiaoqin; Ta, Huy Q.; Hasan, Maria; Ahmad, Nasir Mahmood; Fu, Lei; Bachmatiuk, Alicja; Rümmeli, Mark H.
    Chemically doped graphene materials are fascinating because these have different desirable attributes with possible synergy. The inert and gapless nature of graphene can be changed by adding a small number of heteroatoms to substitute carbon in the lattice. The doped material may display superior catalytic activities; durable, fast, and selective sensing; improved magnetic moments; photoresponses; and activity in chemical reactions. In the current review, recent advances are covered in chemically doped graphene. First, the different types of heteroatoms, their bonding configurations, and briefly their properties are discussed. This is followed by the description of various synthesis and analytical methods essential for assessing the characteristics of heterographene with specific focus on the selected graphene materials of different dopants (particularly, single dopants, including N, B, S, P, first three halogens, Ge, and Ga, and codopants, such as N/O), and more importantly, up-to-date applications enabled by the intentional doping. Finally, outlook and perspectives section review the existing challenges, future opportunities, and possible ways to improve the graphitic materials. The goal is to update and inspire the readers to establish novel doped graphene with valuable properties and for current and futuristic applications. © 2020 The Authors. Published by Wiley-VCH GmbH

    Graphene-Like ZnO: A Mini Review
    (Basel : MDPI, 2016) Ta, Huy Q.; Zhao, Liang; Pohl, Darius; Pang, Jinbo; Trzebicka, Barbara; Rellinghaus, Bernd; Pribat, Didier; Gemming, Thomas; Liu, Zhongfan; Bachmatiuk, Alicja; Rümmeli, Mark H.
    The isolation of a single layer of graphite, known today as graphene, not only demonstrated amazing new properties but also paved the way for a new class of materials often referred to as two-dimensional (2D) materials. Beyond graphene, other 2D materials include h-BN, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), silicene, and germanene, to name a few. All tend to have exciting physical and chemical properties which appear due to dimensionality effects and modulation of their band structure. A more recent member of the 2D family is graphene-like zinc oxide (g-ZnO) which also holds great promise as a future functional material. This review examines current progress in the synthesis and characterization of g-ZnO. In addition, an overview of works dealing with the properties of g-ZnO both in its pristine form and modified forms (e.g., nano-ribbon, doped material, etc.) is presented. Finally, discussions/studies on the potential applications of g-ZnO are reviewed and discussed.

    Open Research Knowledge Graph
    (Goettingen: Cuvillier Verlag, 2024-05-07) Auer, Sören; Ilangovan, Vinodh; Stocker, Markus; Tiwari, Sanju; Vogt, Lars; Bernard-Verdier, Maud; D'Souza, Jennifer; Fadel , Kamel; Farfar, Kheir Eddine; Göpfert , Jan; Haris , Muhammad; Heger, Tina; Hussein, Hassan; Jaradeh, Yaser; Jeschke, Jonathan M.; Jiomekong , Azanzi; Kabongo, Salomon; Karras, Oliver; Kuckertz, Patrick; Kullamann, Felix; Martin, Emily A.; Oelen, Allard; Perez-Alvarez, Ricardo; Prinz, Manuel; Snyder, Lauren D.; Stolten, Detlef; Weinand, Jann M.
    As we mark the fifth anniversary of the alpha release of the Open Research Knowledge Graph (ORKG), it is both timely and exhilarating to celebrate the significant strides made in this pioneering project. We designed this book as a tribute to the evolution and achievements of the ORKG and as a practical guide encapsulating its essence in a form that resonates with both the general reader and the specialist. The ORKG has opened a new era in the way scholarly knowledge is curated, managed, and disseminated. By transforming vast arrays of unstructured narrative text into structured, machine-processable knowledge, the ORKG has emerged as an essential service with sophisticated functionalities. Over the past five years, our team has developed the ORKG into a vibrant platform that enhances the accessibility and visibility of scientific research. This book serves as a non-technical guide and a comprehensive reference for new and existing users that outlines the ORKG’s approach, technologies, and its role in revolutionizing scholarly communication. By elucidating how the ORKG facilitates the collection, enhancement, and sharing of knowledge, we invite readers to appreciate the value and potential of this groundbreaking digital tool presented in a tangible form. Looking ahead, we are thrilled to announce the upcoming unveiling of promising new features and tools at the fifth-year celebration of the ORKG’s alpha release. These innovations are set to redefine the boundaries of machine assistance enabled by research knowledge graphs. Among these enhancements, you can expect more intuitive interfaces that simplify the user experience, and enhanced machine learning models that improve the automation and accuracy of data curation. We also included a glossary tailored to clarifying key terms and concepts associated with the ORKG to ensure that all readers, regardless of their technical background, can fully engage with and understand the content presented. This book transcends the boundaries of a typical technical report. We crafted this as an inspiration for future applications, a testament to the ongoing evolution in scholarly communication that invites further collaboration and innovation. Let this book serve as both your guide and invitation to explore the ORKG as it continues to grow and shape the landscape of scientific inquiry and communication.
