Alain Pénicauda senior CNRS researcher at CNRS
Alain Pénicaud is a senior CNRS researcher working at CNRS and the University of Bordeaux. He has obtained his PhD form the University of Rennes in 1988. After spending two years at the University of Southern California, he has worked, first in Mexico (UNAM, then CINVESTAV) then in Bordeaux, using redox chemistry to crystallize soluble fullerenes or to dissolve novel carbon nanoforms. He has pioneered the use of reductive dissolution by showing in 2005 that true solutions of exfoliated carbon nanotubes could be obtained by dissolving alkali metal salts of nanotubes. He later applied that to graphite to obtain graphene solutions in 2007.
演讲题目:From Graphenide (Negatively Charged Graphene) Solutions to Transparent Electrodes
内容摘要
Graphenide solutions, solutions of negatively charged graphenes were prepared from a variety of materials such as graphite, graphite nanofibers and carbon soot originating from food waste. Full exfoliation of the starting material, down to the single layer level is demonstrated by Raman and AFM with height distribution peaked on single layers. Conducting films from some of those solutions will be described, showing good performance.
