Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) effects on physical properties of the liquid crystal and twisted nematic (TN) liquid crystal (LC) cells have been investigated. The minute doping of CNTs reduces rotational viscosity of the LC, and thus switching time of the TN cells is improved, especially in grey scale response time. In addition, the dielectric anisotropy and birefringence are not affected by such a small amount of CNT-doping and thus voltage-dependent transmittance remains the same.

Owing to carbon materials' diverse functionalization and versatility, the design and synthesis of carbon-based three-dimensional porous structures have become important foundational research topics across various fields. Among the various methods for producing porous carbon structures, laser-induced graphene (LIG) has garnered attention because of its large surface area, controllable structure, excellent electrical conductivity, scalability, and eco-friendly synthesis process. In addition, recent research results have reported more novel functionalities by advancing further from the unique characteristics of LIG through functionalization or compounding of LIG, making it an attractive material for various applications in electronic devices, sensing, catalysis, and energy storage. This review aims to update the research trends in LIG and its functionalization, providing insights to inspire more interesting studies on functional LIG to expand its potential applications ultimately. Starting with the synthesis method and material characteristics of LIG, we introduce the functionalization of LIG, which is classified into surface modification, heteroatom doping, and hybridization based on the interaction mechanism. Finally, we summarize and discuss the prospects of LIG and its functionalization.

Polyacetylene (PA) films with vertically aligned fibril morphology were synthesized in homeotropic nematic liquid crystal (N-LC) solvent by using a magnetic field of 5 Tesla as an external perturbation. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) photographs indicated that the lengths of fibrils from the substrate were $5-35{\mu}m$, depending on polymerization time. Carbonization was carried out using iodine-doped PA film and a morphology-retaining carbonization method. From the SEM results, we confirmed that the vertical morphology of the PA remains unchanged even after carbonization at $800^{\circ}C$. The weight loss of the films due to carbonization at $800^{\circ}C$ is about 20% of the weight of the film before iodine doping. It is expected that vertically aligned carbon might be a precursor for preparing vertical graphite materials, which materials could be useful for electrochemical energy storage and cell electrodes.

The effect of carbon doping contents on the microstructure, hardness, and corrosion properties of heat-treated AISI steel grades of plain carbon steel was investigated in this study. Various microstructures including coarse ferrite-pearlite, fine ferrite-pearlite, martensite, and bainite were developed by different heat treatments i.e. annealing, normalizing, quenching, and austempering, respectively. The developed microstructures, micro-hardness, and corrosion properties were investigated by a light optical microscope, scanning electron microscope, electromechanical (Vickers Hardness tester), and electrochemical (Gamry Potentiostat) equipment, respectively. The highest corrosion rates were observed in bainitic microstructures (2.68-12.12 mpy), whereas the lowest were found in the fine ferritic-pearlitic microstructures (1.57-6.36 mpy). A direct correlation has been observed between carbon concentration and corrosion rate, i.e. carbon content resulted in an increase in corrosion rate (2.37 mpy for AISI 1020 to 9.67 mpy for AISI 1050 in annealed condition).

본 연구에서는 Graphite Felt (GF) 전극의 표면에 산소와 질소의 도핑을 통하여 전기화학적 특성을 개선하고, 이의 촉매화학적 효과를 바나듐 레독스 흐름전지의 양극과 음극의 특성비교를 통하여 관찰하였다. 탄소전극 표면의 산소와 질소 동시 도핑은 GF 샘플을 773 K에서 암모니아-공기 ($NH_3=50%$, $O_2=10%$) 혼합가스에 노출시켜 Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) 방법으로 제조하였다. 이러한 산소-질소 동시 도핑의 전기화학적 효과는 산소만으로 도핑 처리된 GF 샘플과 비교하여 분석, 평가하였다. 탄소전극 샘플들의 표면 구조와 화학적 조성은 Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM)와 X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) 방법을 통하여 분석하였다. 결과물로 얻어진 탄소전극은 바나듐 레독스-흐름전지의 양극과 음극에 동시 적용하여 충-방전 사이클을 진행하고, 각 전극이 흐름전지의 효율과 양극과 음극에서의 전기화학적 특성에 미치는 효과를 비교하여 분석하였다. 산소와 질소의 동시 도핑으로 처리된 GF 전극은 산소만으로 활성화된 전극에 비하여 흐름전지의 전압 및 에너지 효율에서 2% 이상의 향상 효과를 보여주었다. 특히, 탄소전극 표면의 산소-질소의 동시 도핑은 음극반응에서 우수한 전기화학적 특성을 유도하는 것을 확인하였다.

Transient currents were measured in nematic liquid-crystal cells with and without doping of multiwalled carbon nanotubes. Comparative results suggest that the field-screening effect induced by the adsorbed charge is substantially suppressed by the carbon-nanotube dopant, leading to a reduction of the driving voltage and improved performance of display properties.

Nano particles-containing CMS membranes were prepared by pyrolysis of polyimides dispersed uniformly with precursors and their gas separation performances were examined, to elucidate the permeation mechanism and to further improve the gas separation performance. Consequently, it was suggested that the separation performance could be controlled by doping nano-particles in the CMS membranes, and that optimization of various factors, such as the size, content, and dispersion state of the nano particles would contribute for further improvement of the gas separation performance.

In this work, a carbon-doped carbon nitride photocatalyst is successfully synthesized through a simple centrifugal spinning method after heat treatment. The morphology and properties of the prepared photo catalyst are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-vis spectrophotometer (UV-vis), and specific surface area. The results show that the band gap of the prepared sample, g-CN-10 is 2.1 eV, is significantly lower than that of pure carbon nitride, 2.7 eV. As the amount of cotton candy increased, the absorption capacity of the prepared catalyst for visible light is significantly enhanced. In addition, the degradation efficiency of Rhodamine B (RhB) by sample g-CN-10 is 98.8 % over 2 h, which is twice that value of pure carbon nitride. The enhancement of photocatalytic ability is attributed to the increase of specific surface area after the carbon doping modifies carbon nitride. A possible photocatalytic degradation mechanism of carbon-doped carbon nitride is also suggested.
