Print-light-synthesis of electrocatalytically active gas diffusion electrodes for fuel cell applications

Hubert Girault, Luc Sébastien Bondaz, Kumar Varoon Agrawal

The present work reports a simple approach to manufacture electrocatalytically active gas diffusion electrodes (GDEs) in two steps: (i) inkjet printing and (ii) flash light irradiation from a xenon flash lamp, a process called Print-light-synthesis (PLS). ...

A holistic approach for incorporating sub-angstrom gas-sieving pores in single-layer graphene: from atomic simulations to large area membranes

Luc Sébastien Bondaz

The ultimate thinness of graphene pores makes them ideal as a high-flux selective layer for manipulating molecular transport. However, due to the limited understanding of the formation of ångstrom (Å)-scale pores, controlling pore size and understanding ga ...

Direct synthesis of nanocrystalline single-layer porous graphene for hydrogen sieving

Luc Sébastien Bondaz, Kumar Varoon Agrawal, Jian Hao

Porous single -layer graphene is promising as the selective layer for membrane-based gas separation thanks to the atomic thickness of the pore which can yield high permselective flux. Direct synthesis of porous graphene by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) i ...

Hydrogen production by waste tire recycling by photo-pyrolysis

Hubert Girault, Luc Sébastien Bondaz, Bhawna Nagar, Wanderson Oliveira Da Silva, Jordi Espin Marti

Waste tires are a major environmental concern due to their non-degradable nature and the large area occupied by them in landfills worldwide. Several recycling processes have been applied to minimize the high amount of waste tire disposal; in particular, py ...

Selective Photonic Gasification of Strained Oxygen Clusters on Graphene for Tuning Pore Size in the Å Regime

Oleg Yazyev, Luc Sébastien Bondaz, Kumar Varoon Agrawal, Kristians Cernevics, Shaoxian Li, Jian Hao

Controlling the size of single-digit pores, such as those in graphene, with an & Aring; resolution has been challenging due to the limited understanding of pore evolution at the atomic scale. The controlled oxidation of graphene has led to & Aring;-scale p ...

Mechanistic Insights on Functionalization of Graphene with Ozone

Nicola Marzari, Luc Sébastien Bondaz, Kumar Varoon Agrawal, Shiqi Huang, Shaoxian Li, Kuang-Jung Hsu, Nicéphore Arthur François Bonnet

The exposure of graphene to O-3 results in functionalization of its lattice with epoxy, even at room temperature. This reaction is of fundamental interest for precise lattice patterning, however, is not well understood. Herein, using van der Waals density ...

Rapid screening of nanopore candidates in nanoporous single-layer graphene for selective separations using molecular visualization and interatomic potentials

Rohit Karnik, Luc Sébastien Bondaz

Nanoporous single-layer graphene is promising as an ideal membrane because of its extreme thinness, chemical resistance, and mechanical strength, provided that selective nanopores are successfully incorporated. However, screening and understanding the tran ...

Centimeter-scale gas-sieving nanoporous single-layer graphene membrane

Luc Sébastien Bondaz, Kumar Varoon Agrawal, Shiqi Huang, Guangwei He, Mostapha Dakhchoune, Wan-Chi Lee

High-permeance, molecular-sieving, nanoporous single-layer graphene (NSLG) membranes are highly promising for gas separation. However, the formation of cracks during the transfer of NSLG to a low-cost porous support is difficult to avoid. These cracks are ...
