RESUMO

Graphene and graphitic nanoribbons possess different types of carbon hybridizations exhibiting different chemical activity. In particular, the basal plane of the honeycomb lattice of nanoribbons consisting of sp(2)-hybridized carbon atoms is chemically inert. Interestingly, their bare edges could be more reactive as a result of the presence of extra unpaired electrons, and for multilayer graphene nanoribbons, the presence of terraces and ripples could introduce additional chemical activity. In this study, a remarkable irreversibility in adsorption of CO(2) and H(2)O on graphitic nanoribbons was observed at ambient temperature, which is distinctly different from the behavior of nanoporous carbon and carbon blacks. We also noted that N(2) molecules strongly interact with the basal planes at 77 K in comparison with edges. The irreversible adsorptions of both CO(2) and H(2)O are due to the large number of sp(3)-hybridized carbon atoms located at the edges. The observed irreversible adsorptivity of the edge surfaces of graphitic nanoribbons for CO(2) and H(2)O indicates a high potential in the fabrication of novel types of catalysts and highly selective gas sensors.

RESUMO

Vibrational-rotational properties of CH(4) adsorbed on the nanopores of single-wall carbon nanohorns (SWCNHs) at 105-140 K were investigated using IR spectroscopy. The difference vibrational-rotational bands of the ν(3) and ν(4) modes below 130 K show suppression of the P and R branches, while the Q branches remain. The widths of the Q branches are much narrower than in the bulk gas phase due to suppression of the Doppler effect. These results indicate that the rotation of CH(4) confined in the nanospaces of SWCNHs is highly restricted, resulting in a rigid assembly structure, which is an anomaly in contrast to that in the bulk liquid phase.
