Two-dimensional (2D) materials containing hole defects are a promising substitute for conventional nanopore membranes like silicon nitride. Hole defects on 2D materials, as atomically thin nanopores, have been used in nanopore devices, such as DNA sensor, gas sensor and purifier at lab-scale. For practical applications of 2D materials to nanopore devices, researches on characteristics of hole defects on graphene, hexagonal boron nitride and molybdenum disulfide have been conducted precisely using transmission electron microscope. Here, we summarized formation, features, structural preference and stability of hole defects on 2D materials with atomic-resolution transmission electron microscope images and theoretical calculations, emphasizing the future challenges in controlling the edge structures and stabilization of hole defects. Exploring the properties at the local structure of hole defects through in situ experiments is also the important issue for the fabrication of realistic 2D nanopore devices.

Beam-shaped components commonly rotate along a fixed axis when massive mechanical structures like rotors, jet engine blades, motor turbines, and rotating railway crossings perform their functions. For these structures to be useful in real life, their mechanical behavior is essential. Therefore, this is the first article to use the modified shear deformation theory type hyperbolic sine functions theory and the FEM to study the static bending response of rotating functionally graded GPL-reinforced composite (FG-GPLRC) beams with initial geometrical deficiencies in thermal media. Graphene platelets (GPLs) in three different configurations are woven into the beam's composition to increase its strength. By comparing the numerical results with those of previously published studies, we can assess the robustness of the theory and mechanical model employed in this study. Parameter studies are performed to determine the effect of various geometric and physical variables, such as rotation speed and temperature, on the bending reactions of structures.

To investigate surface properties and interception performances of the new modified PVDF membrane coated with Graphene Oxide (GO) and nano-$TiO_2$ (for short the modified membrane) via the interface polymerization method combined with the pumping suction filtration way, filtration experiments of the modified membrane on Humic Acid (HA) were conducted. Results showed that the contact angle (characterizing the hydrophilicity) of the modified membrane decreased from $80.6{\pm}1.8^{\circ}$ to $38.6{\pm}1.2^{\circ}$. The F element of PVDF membrane surface decreased from 60.91% to 17.79% after covered with GO and $TiO_2$. O/C element mass ratio has a fivefold increase, the percentage of O element on the modified membrane surface increased from 3.83 wt% to 20.87%. The modified membrane surface was packed with hydrophilic polar groups (like -COOH, -OH, C-O, C=O, N-H) and a functional hydrophilic GO-polyamide-$TiO_2$ composite configuration. This configuration provided a rigid network structure for the firm attachment of GO and $TiO_2$ on the surface of the membrane and for a higher flux as well. The total flux attenuation rate of the modified membrane decreased to 35.6% while 51.2% for the original one. The irreversible attenuation rate has dropped 71%. The static interception amount of HA on the modified membrane was $158.6mg/m^2$, a half of that of the original one ($295.0mg/m^2$). The flux recovery rate was increased by 50%. The interception rate of the modified membrane on HA increased by 12% approximately and its filtration cycle was 2-3 times of that of the original membrane.

본 연구는 그래핀과 유사한 IV족 나노 시트로서 말단을 수소로 처리한 게르마닌(Germanene) 이차원(2D) 시트에 여러 유해 가스(COx, NOx, SOx)를 흡착시켰을 때 구조적 변화와 흡착에너지를 이론적으로 계산하였다. 이론 방법은 밀도 범함수 이론(density functional theory, DFT) 가운데 B3LYP와 CAM-B3lYP을 사용하였으며, 바탕집합(basis set)으로는 cc-pvDZ를 사용하였다. 분자 구조를 각 이론 수준에서 최적화한 후 진동 주파수를 계산하여 열역학적으로 가장 안정한 분자 구조를 확인하였다. 게르마닌 시트에 기체의 흡착은 CO, CO2, NO, SO2 가스의 경우 물리 흡착을 나타내었으며, NO2, SO, SO2 등은 화학 흡착을 나타내었다.

A colorimetric paper sensor was used to detect volatile nitrogen-containing compounds emitted from spoiled salmon filets to determine their freshness. The sensing mechanism was based on acid-base reactions between acidic pH-indicating dyes and basic volatile ammonia and amines. A sensing layer was simply fabricated by drop-casting a dye solution of bromocresol green (BCG) on a polyvinylidene fluoride substrate, and its color-change response was enhanced by optimizing the amounts of additive chemicals, such as polyethylene glycol, p-toluene sulfonic acid, and graphene oxide in the dye solution. To avoid the adverse effects of water vapor, both faces of the sensing layer were enclosed by using a polyethylene terephthalate film and a gas-permeable microporous polytetrafluoroethylene sheet, respectively. When exposed to basic gas analytes, the paper-like sensor distinctly exhibited a color change from initially yellow, then to green, and finally to blue due to the deprotonation of BCG via the Brønsted acid-base reaction. The use of ammonia analyte as a test gas confirmed that the sensing performance of the optimized sensor was reversible and excellent (detection time of < 15 min, sensitive naked-eye detection at 0.25 ppm, good selectivity to common volatile organic gases, and good stability against thermal stress). Finally, the coloration intensity of the sensor was quantified as a function of the storage time of the salmon filet at 28℃ to evaluate its usefulness in monitoring of the food freshness with the measurement of the total viable count (TVC) of microorganisms in the food. The TVC value increased from 3.2 × 10⁵ to 3.1 × 10⁹ cfu/g in 28 h and then became stable, whereas the sensor response abruptly changed in the first 8 h and slightly increased thereafter. This result suggests that the colorimetric response could be used as an indicator for evaluating the degree of decay of salmon induced by microorganisms.

본 연구에서는 고품질의 합성다이아몬드를 얻고자 합성다이아몬드 표면에 잔류하는 그래핀, DLC 등의 흑연계 준안정상을 효과적으로 제거하는 세정공정을 위해 왕수와 황산 외에 $K_2S_2O_8$, $P_2O_5$, $KMnO_4$의 산화제가 들어간 습식세정공정, P II 제안하였다. 이 공정은 기존의 산처리를 이용한 세정공정(P I) 뿐만 아니라 신세정공정(P I+P II)을 함께 사용하여 7GPa-$1500^{\circ}C$-5minutes의 조건 하에서 합성된 200um의 다이아몬드 표면에 잔류하는 흑연과 불순물 등을 제거하기 위해 진행되었다. 이를 육안분석, 광학현미경, 마이크로라만, TGA-DTA를 통하여 확인하였다. 육안분석과 광학현미경 분석 결과 새로운 습식세정공정(P I+P II) 진행 후 합성다이아몬드의 채색이 밝은 노란색으로 개선되었다. 또한 마이크로라만 분석을 통해 $1330cm^{-1}$의 다이아몬드 고유 피크 외에 $1440cm^{-1}$의 흑연계 준안정상인 DLC피크가 사라지는 것을 확인하여 정량적으로 잔류불순물의 양이 줄어든 것을 확인하였다. TGA-DTA 결과, 처리 전(P I only) 흑연계 준안정상이 먼저 분해되어 $770.91^{\circ}C$부터 열분해가 시작되었으나 신세정공정(P I+P II)으로 처리 후 순수한 합성다이아몬드는 $892.18^{\circ}C$부터 시작되어 흑연계 준안정상이 효과적으로 제거된 것을 확인하였다. 이러한 신세정공정은 합성다이아몬드의 잔류불순물제거를 통해 품질향상을 기대할 수 있었다.

본 연구는 그래핀과 유사한 2차원 붕소-질소(BN)와 알루미늄-질소(AlN) 시트에 여러 대기 유해 가스($CO_x$, $NO_x$, $SO_x$)가 흡착될 때의 구조적 특징과 결합에너지를 밀도 범함수 이론(DFT)과 MP2 방법을 사용하여 연구하였다. 분자 구조는 $B3LYP/6-31G^{**}$와 $CAM-B3LYP/6-31G^{**}$이론 수준에서 최적화하고, 진동 주파수를 계산하여 열역학적으로 가장 안정한 분자 구조를 확인하였다. 결합에너지는 $MP2/6-31G^{**}$ 이론 수준에서 한 점(single point) 에너지를 계산하고, 영점 진동에너지(ZPVE)와 바탕집합 중첩에러(BSSE)를 모두 보정하였다. BN 시트에 가스의 흡착은 모두 물리흡착으로 예측되었으며, AlN 시트에 대한 가스 흡착은 $CO_x$나 $NO_x$에 대해서는 물리흡착이 그리고 $SO_x$에 대해서는 화학 흡착이 일어날 것으로 예측되었다.
