What are the chemical aspects of graphene as a novel 2D material and
how do they relate to the molecular structure? This book addresses
these important questions from a theoretical and computational
standpoint. Graphene Chemistry: Theoretical Perspectives presents
recent exciting developments to correlate graphene’s properties and
functions to its structure through state-of-the-art computational
studies. This book focuses on the chemistry aspect of the
structure-property relationship for many fascinating derivatives of
graphene; various properties such as electronic structure, magnetism,
and chemical reactivity, as well as potential applications in energy
storage, catalysis, and nanoelectronics are covered. The book also
includes two chapters with significant experimental portions,
demonstrating how deep insights can be obtained by joint experimental
and theoretical efforts. Topics covered include: Graphene ribbons:
Edges, magnetism, preparation from unzipping, and electronic transport
Nanographenes: Properties, reactivity, and synthesis Clar sextet rule
in nanographene and graphene nanoribbons Porous graphene, nanomeshes,
and graphene-based architecture and assemblies Doped graphene: Theory,
synthesis, characterization and applications Mechanisms of graphene
growth in chemical vapor deposition Surface adsorption and
functionalization of graphene Conversion between graphene and graphene
oxide Applications in gas separation, hydrogen storage, and catalysis
Graphene Chemistry: Theoretical Perspectives provides a useful
overview for computational and theoretical chemists who are active in
this field and those who have not studied graphene before. It is also
a valuable resource for experimentalist scientists working on graphene
and related materials, who will benefit from many concepts and
properties discussed here.
