Scalable preparation of graphdiyne family

LingU
Overview

Graphdiyne (GDY) as a new rising star of carbon materials family has attracted great attention since it was first synthesized in 2010. We can produce a series of GDYs with different sp-carbon content or topological arrangement of the acetylenic linkages and aromatic bonds. The production rate can be up to hundred-gram-grade

  • Scalable preparation of graphdiyne family
Technical name of innovation
Scalable preparation of graphdiyne family
Problem addressed

The preparation process and types of GDY suffers from the issue of low production rate that not only restrict it to fundamental research but also lock its practical potential of GDY.

Innovation
  • Flexibly regulate the sp-to-sp2 carbon content or topological arrangement of the acetylenic linkages and aromatic bonds in GDYs to achieve different physical and chemical properties.
Key impact
  • Successfully prepare a series of GDYs with different sp-carbon content or topological arrangement of the acetylenic linkages and aromatic bonds. The production rate can be up to hundred-gram-grade
  • Significantly facilitate the fundamental research and practical application of GDYs in various fields.
Application
  • gas separation and catalysis
  • water remediation
  • humidity sensor
  • energy-related fields
Lingnan University

Lingnan University, a venerable institution in Hong Kong's academic landscape, has a rich heritage that dates back to its founding in Guangzhou in 1888. Known in its earlier years as Lingnan Xuexiao and subsequently as Lingnan University, the institution flourished in the field of higher education until 1952. It was reborn in Hong Kong in 1967 and has since aspired to evolve into a distinguished research-focused liberal arts university for the digital age. Lingnan is committed to excellence in teaching, learning, research, and fostering community ties, aiming for international acclaim.
