Surface Functionalization of a γ-Graphyne-like Carbon Material via Click Chemistry

Surface functionalization of carbon materials is of interest in many research fields, such as electrocatalysis, interfacial engineering, and supercapacitors. As an emerging carbon material, γ-graphyne has attracted broad attention. Herein, we report that the surface functionalization of a γ-graphyne-like carbon material (γ-G1) is achieved by immobilizing functional groups via the click chemistry. Texture analysis of aberration-corrected microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and electrochemistry confirm the successful surface modification of γ-G1 through a strong covalent linkage 1,2,3-triazole. The direct linkage of functional groups on γ-G1 via the click chemistry represents a general method for preparing other functional materials by using γ-graphyne-like materials as a skeleton.
