Functionalized Graphene via a One-Pot Reaction Enabling Exact Pore Sizes, Modifiable Pore Functionalization, and Precision Doping


Abstract Functionalizing graphene with exact pore size, specific functional groups, and precision doping poses many significant challenges. Current methods lack precision and produce random pore sizes, sites of attachment, and amounts of dopant, leading to compromised structural integrity and affecting graphene's applications. In this work, we report a strategy for the synthesis of functionalized graphitic materials with modifiable nanometer-sized pores via a Pictet–Spengler polymerization reaction. This one-pot, four-step synthesis uses concepts based on covalent organic frameworks (COFs) synthesis to produce crystalline two-dimensional materials that were confirmed by PXRD, TEM measurements, and DFT studies. These new materials are structurally analogous to doped graphene and graphene oxide (GO) but, unlike GO, maintain their semiconductive properties when fully functionalized.
