Abstract

Multipyrene terminated hyperbranched polyglycidol (mPHP) has been synthesized and used to non-covalently functionalize pristine graphene sheets (GSs) through π-π stacking interactions. Mediated by the mPHP layer, a variety of metal nanoparticles (Au, Ag and Pt) were in situ generated and deposited onto the surface-modified GS, yielding versatile GS/mPHP/metal nanohybrids. As typical examples, by simply controlling the concentration of HAuCl(4) used, Au nanostructures ranging from isolated spheres to a continuous film were created and coated onto the surface-modified GS. The studies on the fluorescence properties of resulting GS/mPHP/Au hybrid nanostructures reveal that the GS and controllable content of Au components in the hybrids can effectively quench the fluorescence emission of mPHP in a controlled manner. Further investigation indicates that GS/mPHP/Au hybrids are promising surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates. The SERS activities of these hybrids depend on the contents and form of the Au. The GS/mPHP/Au hybrid containing continuous Au films exhibits the strongest SERS activity. GS/mPHP/Au hybrids are also used as efficient heterogeneous catalysts for the reduction of 4-NP, and demonstrate excellent catalytic performance. The detailed reaction kinetics and the reusability of such catalysts have also been investigated.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 13. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 28 November 2023.
All research outputs
#2,760,019
of 25,374,647 outputs
Outputs from Nanoscale
#472
of 10,500 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#20,765
of 252,183 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Nanoscale
#8
of 151 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,647 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 89th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 10,500 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.3. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 95% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 252,183 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 91% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 151 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 94% of its contemporaries.
