Chemical Healing of Nano-carbon Materials via Intramolecular Cross-dehydrogenative Coupling

Abstract

Chemical healing of nano-carbon materials (graphene, CNTF) are performed via ICDC reaction. After chemical healing, the electrical conductivity of RGO was increased to 71 S/cm, which was ca. 14 times higher them that of pristine RGO (5 S/cm). After chemical healing, the electrical conductivity and tensile strength of CNTF were increased 200% and 180%, respectively.
