The single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) produced by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) were directly fluorinated with fluorine ($F_2$) gas in a temperature range 20 ~ 400 ${^{\circ}C}$. The surface properties and morphology of the SWCNTs were investigated in terms of fluorination temperature. As a result, Raman spectra showed a pair of bands at 1340 and 1590 $cm^{-1}$ peculiar to disordered $sp^2$-carbons. These results indicated that C-F bonds were formed on the rear surfaces of the nanotubes by fluorination, while the external surfaces as well as the layers between the internal and external surfaces retained their $sp^2$-hybridization. XPS analysis exhibited that fluorine atoms were bonded to carbon atoms on internal surfaces (rear surfaces) of the nanotubes and the amount of fluorine attached on the nanotubes was increased with increasing the fluorination temperature. Consequently, the direct fluorination of carbon nanotubes led to functionalization and modification of pristine nanotubes with respect to surface and morphological properties.

Carbon nanomaterials (CNMs), particularly carbon nanotube and graphene-based materials, are rapidly emerging as one of the most effective adsorbents for wastewater treatment. CNMs hold great potential as new generation adsorbents due to their high surface to volume ratio, as well as extraordinary chemical, mechanical and thermal stabilities. However, implementation of pristine CNMs in real world applications are still hindered due to their poor solubility in most solvents. Hence, surface modification of CNMs is essential for wastewater treatment application in order to improve its solubility, chemical stability, fouling resistance and efficiency. Numerous studies have reported the applications of functionalized CNMs as very promising adsorbents for treating organic and inorganic wastewater pollutants. In this paper, the removal of organic dye and phenol contaminants from wastewater using various type of functionalized CNMs are highlighted and summarized. Challenges and future opportunities for application of these CNMs as adsorbents in sustainable wastewater treatment are also addressed in this paper.

넓은 비표면적과 큰 기공 부피를 갖는 실리카에 다양한 아미노실란 화합물을 in-situ 중합법을 통해 기능화 후 이산화탄소 흡착 특성을 확인하였다. 이산화탄소 흡착 기능기로 아민기가 포함된 아미노실란 화합물이 사용되었다. 흡착제의 흡착 특성 분석을 위해 질소 흡 탈착 실험과 원소분석, in situ FT-IR, TGA를 이용하였다. 흡착제 합성 전후를 비교하였을 때 폴리아미노실란이 기능화되면 표면적과 기공부피 및 크기가 감소하였으며 실리카 기공 부피의 70%에 해당하는 폴리아미노실란 화합물을 기능화 시켰을 경우 기공 부피의 100% 기능화 보다 이산화탄소 흡착능이 향상되었다. 흡착 온도를 비교하며 $30^{\circ}C$보다 $75^{\circ}C$에서 폴리아미노실란 화합물의 열팽창과 자유부피 증가로 흡착능이 증가하였고, 2NS/NPS-2의 경우 기공 부피 70% 기능화와 흡착 온도 $75^{\circ}C$에서 9.2 wt%의 높은 $CO_2$ 흡착능을 보였다.

Ordered mesoporous silica (MCM-41) materials with different textural properties were prepared using alkyl (dodecyl, cetyl, eicosane) trimethyl ammonium bromide (DTAB, CTAB, ETAB, respectively) as structure directing surfactants, functionalized with amine groups and used as adsorbent for the toxic metal ions, Cr (VI), As (V), Pb (II) and Hg (II). Amino functionalization of mesoporous MCM-41 was achieved by cocondensation of N-[3-(trimethoxysilyl)-propyl] aniline with tetraethyl orthosilicate. Adsorption isotherm and adsorption capacity of the amine functionalized materials for Cr (VI), As (V), Pb (II) and Hg (II) ions were followed by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Results demonstrate that amine functionalized MCM-41 prepared with ETAB showed higher adsorption capacity for Cr (VI), As (V), Pb (II) and Hg (II) ions in comparison to MCM-41 prepared with CTAB and DTAB. The higher adsorption capacity for MCM-41(ETAB) was correlated with amine content in the material (determined by CHN analysis) and relative decrease in pore volume and pore diameter. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, nitrogen adsorptiondesorption measurements and Fourier Transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR) were used to follow the changes in the textural parameters and surface properties of the mesoporous materials as a result of amine functionalization to correlate with the adsorption characteristics. The adsorption process was found to depend on the pH of the medium.

탄소나노소재의 화학적 기능화는 대부분 복합체 제조 시 고분자 모재(matrix)와의 계면 특성 향상을 위한 방법으로 적용되어 왔다. 계면결합력의 증가에 따른 효과는 기계적 물성의 증가를 통해 간접적으로 확인할 수 있으며, 이는 계면에서 효과적인 응력전달을 통해 설명된다. 보다 직접적으로 기능화를 통한 계면결합력 증가의 효과를 설명하기 위하여 피에조 저항효과를 관찰할 수 있으며, 이를 통하여 변형에 대한 복합체 내부의 전도성 충진재의 거동을 짐작해 볼 수 있다. 이를 위해 다중벽 탄소나노튜브(MWCNT)와 환원 그래핀(rGO)을 황산/질산 용액을 이용하여 산화반응을 통해 기능기를 도입하였으며, 기능화 전 후의 복합체의 전기적 저항 및 피에조 저항효과를 측정하였다. 결과로부터 기능기 도입으로 인해 증가한 탄소나노소재의 구조적 결함이 전기적 저항의 증가를 야기하지만 동일한 변형에 대하여 저항 변화가 더 크게 나타나 변형에 따른 복합체 내부 전도성 입자의 유동성이 증가함을 확인하였고, 이를 통해 계면결합력이 증가함을 피에조 저항효과 관찰을 통해 확인할 수 있었다.

메조포러스 물질의 표면을 post-synthesis grafting method를 통해 표면을 기능화시킨 후 $(n-BuCp)_2ZrCl_2$/methylaluminoxane(MAO)를 담지하여 에틸렌 중합을 실시하였다. 아민기와 시안기를 가지는 유기실란 $N$-[(3-trimethoxysilyl)propyl]ethylenediamine(2NS), 4-(triethoxysilyl)butyronitrile(1NCy), 1-(3-triethoxysilylpropyl)-2-imidazoline(2NIm)는 메조포러스 물질의 표면 기능화에 사용되었다. SBA-15/2NS/$(n-BuCp)_2ZrCl_2$촉매 담지시 MAO의 양이 증가할수록 Zr 함량은 감소하였고 Al 함량은 증가하였다. 에틸렌 중합 활성은 MAO의 양이 증가할수록 급격히 증가함을 볼 수 있었다. 담지시간이 6시간일 때 가장 높은 활성을 보였다. 유기실란의 종류에 따른 활성 차이는 SBA-15/2NS/$(n-BuCp)_2ZrCl_2$ > SBA-15/2NIm/$(n-BuCp)_2ZrCl_2$ > SBA-15/1NCy/$(n-BuCp)_2ZrCl_2$ 순으로 감소하였다. 아민기를 두 개 갖는 2NS와 2NIm은 아민기를 하나 갖는 1NCy보다 $(n-BuCp)_2ZrCl_2$와 더 강하게 상호작용을 한다. 따라서 촉매 내 질소와 Zr함량이 증가할수록 활성은 증가하였다.

Covalent functionalization of a $Zn_{12}O_{12}$ nano-cage with $CO_2$ molecule in terms of energetic, geometry, and electronic properties was investigated by density functional theory method. For chemisorption configurations, the adsorption energy of $CO_2$ on the $Zn_{12}O_{12}$ nano-cage for the first $CO_2$ was calculated -1.25 eV with a charge transfer of 1.00|e| from the nano-cage to the $CO_2$ molecule. The results show that $CO_2$ molecule was significantly detected by pristine $Zn_{12}O_{12}$ nano-cage, therefore the nano-cage can be used as $CO_2$ storage. Also, more efficient binding could not be achieved by increasing the $CO_2$ concentration. For Physisorption configurations, HOMO-LUMO gap of the configurations has not changed, while slight changes have been observed in the chemisorption configurations.

In this work, we synthesized superhydrophobic coatings by chemical surface functionalization of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). This was accomplished through the radical polymerization of 3-(trimethoxysilyl) propyl methacrylate modified MWCNTs and fluoro acrylate/methyl methacrylate. The chemical compositions and microstructures of the prepared MWCNT surface were investigated using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectrometry, and scanning electron microscopy, respectively. The wettability of the MWCNTs surface was determined through contact angle assessments in different liquids. The resulting surface exhibited a water contact angle of $157.7^{\circ}$, which is clear evidence of its superhydrophobicity. The 3D MWCNT networks and the low surface energy of the -C-C- and -C-F- groups play important roles in creating the superhydrophobic surface of the MWCNTs.

A one-pot, facile and ecofriendly approach to the fabrication of covalently fluorinated graphene using mild reaction conditions is reported. This straightforward and efficient strategy allows fluorine groups to be covalently and stably anchored onto graphene to produce single-layer functionalized graphene sheets from a graphene oxide precursor.

The ring formation and electronic properties of furan adsorbed on graphene layers grown on 6H-SiC(0001) has been investigated using atomic force microscopy (AFM), near edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectra for the C K-edge, and high resolution photoemission spectroscopy (HRPES). Moreover, we observed that furan molecules adsorbed on graphene could be used for chemical functionalization via the lone pair of electrons on the oxygen group, allowing chemical doping. We also found that furan spontaneously formed rings with one of three different bonding configurations and the electronic properties of the ring formed by furan on graphene can be described using by AFM, NEXAFS and HRPES, respectively.
