Abstract:
Stable water dispersions of single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) have important implications for their applications in biomedical and composites field. In this work, a water-soluble optical brightener bearing benzene ring and sodium sulfonate groups was employed as surfactant for SWCNTs in water. The surfactant molecules were absorbed on graphene nanotube surfaces via π-π interaction, Van Der Waals interaction and electrostatic interactions in water under ultrasonic treatment. The functionalized carbon nanotubes were stably dispersed in water for several months without sedimentation. The carbon nanotubes/organic conjugated molecules nanohybrids have potential application in nanocomposites, biomedical engineering, and photovoltaic devices.

Abstract:
Due to the exceptional properties of graphene, numerous possibilities for real applications in various fields have been provided. However, it is a challenge to fabricate bulk graphene materials with properties arising from the nature of individual graphene sheets, and which assemble into monolithic three-dimensional structures. If 3D structured graphene foam were made instead of 2D structured graphene, it is expected that it would be a facile fabrication, with relatively low cost with the possibility of scale-up, and would maintain the intrinsic properties of graphene. To solve the weaknesses of 2D structured graphene, this study aimed to fabricate a 3D graphene-carbon nanotubes (CNT) hybrid foam. In this study, CNT was used to reinforce the graphene foams. In addition, two different surfactants, known as sodium dodecylbenzene sulphonate (SDBS) and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), were applied to help CNT dispersion. The π–π interaction was induced by SDBS/CNT, while ionic interaction was derived from CTAB/CNT. To confirm the charge effect with different surfactants, SEM, Zeta-potential, FT-IR, Raman spectroscopy, and compression tests were performed. When using a cationic surfactant, CTAB, compressive modulus, and strength increased due to the formation of relatively strong ionic bonding.

Abstract:
We describe a comparison study on 3D ensembles of graphene oxide (GO) and metal nanoparticles (silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), gold nanoparticles (GNPs), and gold nanorods (GNRs)) for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) application. For the first time, GNRs were successfully assembled on the surfaces of GO by means of electrostatic interactions without adding any surfactant. The SERS properties of GO/AgNPs, GO/GNPs, and GO/GNRs were compared using 2-mercaptopyridine (2-Mpy) as probing molecule. We found that GO/AgNPs and GO/GNPs substrates are not suitable for detecting 2-Mpy due to the very strongπ-πstacking interaction between the 2-Mpy molecules andsp2carbon structure of GO. Conversely, the GO/GNRs substrates show ultrahigh SERS activity and sensitivity of 2-Mpy with the detection limit as low as ~10-15 M, which is ~2-3 orders of magnitude higher than that of the corresponding GNRs.

Abstract:
Self-assembly of ionic liquids (ILs) on 2D materials such as graphene oxide and MXenes facilitated by non-ionic surfactants is a promising approach being increasingly used for the fabrication of high surface area electrodes resulting in high performance supercapacitors. However, the impact that non-ionic surfactants have on double-layer formation and ionic conductivity has yet to be explored. These surfactants are not ionically conductive, have low dielectric constants and high viscosity which are expected to impact the final performance of the electrode. In this study we analyze the effect of adding two commonly used non-ionic surfactants, P123 and Triton X-100 (TX-100) to 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (EMImTFSI) on the double-layer capacitance formed at a glassy carbon electrode by means of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The results, surprisingly suggest an improvement of 75% and 116% in the double layer capacitance measured at the open circuit voltage for 40% of P123 and TX-100, respectively. We also interpret the changes in the DC potential dependence of the capacitance via the most up-to-date understanding of double-layer charging mechanisms with ionic liquids. Similar to previous literature on solvent-based diluents such as polycarbonate and acetonitrile, which cause a similar effect, the improved capacitance is attributed to the reduced Debye length resulting from an increased effective ionic charge accrued by the IL when surrounded by the low-dielectric constant surfactant. Both electrolyte series show the same reduction in ionic conductivity (from 8.5 mS/cm to 1 mS/cm) with respect to concentration regardless of the higher viscosity measured for the P123 electrolyte series. Pulsed field gradient nuclear magnetic resonance, is used to determine the diffusion coefficient for the IL as a function of surfactant concentration and allow us to calculate the effective Stokes radius which is found to shrink significantly as a function of surfactant concentration. Similar to the improved capacitance, this is caused by a reduction in ion-ion interactions and an increase in the average effective charge on each ion. These effects make the electrolyte less sensitive than expected to the increased viscosity caused by addition of the more viscous surfactant phase. The ability to improve the capacitance with non-volatile, low dielectric constant additives, without significantly sacrificing ionic conductivity, opens up an improved avenue for completely non-volatile, non-flammable electrolyte design.

Abstract:
In this paper we detail a novel semi-automated method for the production of graphene by sonochemical exfoliation of graphite in the presence of ionic surfactants, e.g., sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). The formation of individual graphene flakes was confirmed by Raman spectroscopy, while the interaction of graphene with surfactants was proven by NMR spectroscopy. The resulting graphene–surfactant composite material formed a stable suspension in water and some organic solvents, such as chloroform. Graphene thin films were then produced using Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) or electrostatic layer-by-layer (LbL) deposition techniques. The composition and morphology of the films produced was studied with SEM/EDX and AFM. The best results in terms of adhesion and surface coverage were achieved using LbL deposition of graphene(−)SDS alternated with polyethyleneimine (PEI). The optical study of graphene thin films deposited on different substrates was carried out using UV–vis absorption spectroscopy and spectroscopic ellipsometry. A particular focus was on studying graphene layers deposited on gold-coated glass using a method of total internal reflection ellipsometry (TIRE) which revealed the enhancement of the surface plasmon resonance in thin gold films by depositing graphene layers.

Abstract:
In order to explore the effect of the attachment site of the benzene ring in the backbone of the surfactant on its diffusion characteristics on the surface of anthracite, the molecular dynamics simulation method was used, and the four isomers (m-C16, m = 2,4,6,8; m represents the attachment site of the benzene ring in the backbone) of sodium hexadecyl benzene sulfonate (SHS) were selected. Binary models of surfactant/anthracite, surfactant/graphene modified by oxygen-containing functional groups, and a ternary model of water/surfactant/anthracite were constructed. By analyzing a series of properties such as interaction energy, contact surface area, relative concentration distribution, radial distribution function, hydrophobic tail chain order parameter, etc., it is concluded that the adsorption strength of 4-C16 on the surface of anthracite is the highest; the reason is that 4-C16 has the highest degree of aggregation near the oxygen-containing functional groups on the surface of anthracite. Further investigations find that 4-C16 can be densely covered on the ketone group, and the longer branch chain of 4-C16 has the highest degree of order in the Z-axis direction.

Abstract:
The large-scale preparation of stable graphene aqueous dispersion has been a challenge in the theoretical research and industrial applications of graphene. This study determined the suitable exfoliation agent for overcoming the van der Waals force between the layers of expanded graphite sheets using the liquid-phase exfoliation method on the basis of surface energy theory to prepare a single layer of graphene. To evenly and stably disperse graphene in pure water, the dispersants were selected based on Hansen solubility parameters, namely, hydrophilicity, heterocyclic structure and easy combinative features. The graphene exfoliation grade and the dispersion stability, number of layers and defect density in the dispersion were analysed under Tyndall phenomenon using volume sedimentation method, zeta potential analysis, scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy characterization. Subsequently, the long-chain quaternary ammonium salt cationic surfactant octadecyltrimethylammonium chloride (0.3 wt.%) was electrolyzed in pure water to form ammonium ions, which promoted hydrogen bonding in the remaining oxygen-containing groups on the surface of the stripped graphene. Forming the electrostatic steric hindrance effect to achieve the stable dispersion of graphene in water can exfoliate a minimum of eight layers of graphene nanosheets; the average number of layers was less than 14. The 0.1 wt.% (sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate: melamine = 1:1) mixed system forms π–π interaction and hydrogen bonding with graphene in pure water, which allow the stable dispersion of graphene for 22 days without sedimentation. The findings can be beneficial for the large-scale preparation of waterborne graphene in industrial applications.

Abstract:
Abstract Shale reservoirs, despite having abundance in hydrocarbon storage, offer significant challenges in terms of understanding the pore-scale and reservoir-scale phenomenon. Typically, hydraulic fracturing treatment is implemented to improve hydrocarbon productivity through the injection of fracturing fluid to induce the breakdown of the formation to create fractures, hence allowing a flow conduit for hydrocarbon to be produced at a higher flow rate of oil and/or gas. In this work, molecular dynamics (MD) simulation using GROMACS were utilized to create a 3D model comprised of methane (CH4), surfactant and graphite. Surfactant, as represented by the cationic cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) was added along with water to represent water-based visco-elastic surfactant (VES) as an additive to reduce the surface tension of hydrocarbon to shale (represented by graphene). A realistic molecular model was created to examine the interaction of CTAB towards the adsorption pattern of methane onto graphene, in order to reveal the displacement efficiency of methane after wettability modification due to the effect of surfactant on the graphene on a nanoscale. The findings suggest that addition of CTAB as surfactant may enhance the production of methane though the reduction of IFT and adsorption capability of methane to the wall of shale. The result yielded consistent trends, where methane's tendency to stick to the adsorption site (at approximately 1.5 nm from the center of the system) was reduced and more methane molecules were accumulated at the center of the pore space. This study has uncovered the adsorption process and the effect of CTAB in altering the sorption behavior of methane towards shale. This would contribute to the enhancement of long-term shale gas production by providing more information on salinity and pressure sensitivity, enabling extraction to be done at a lower cost.

Abstract:
Abstract The demand for oil and gas is continuing to rise with a growing population and worldwide industrialization. Surfactants are considered excellent additives for drilling formulations because of their unique properties and chemical structure. The surface-modified nanoparticles in the drilling fluids (DFs) help to improve the rheological and filtration properties of water-sensitive shale formations. The water-sensitive shale formations in the wellbore often result in swelling after interacting with water-based DFs. The swelling of shale formation impacts the rheological and filtration properties of DFs. The aim of this study is to formulate DFs with cationic surfactants and surface-modified nanoparticles to minimize shale swelling and improve the rheological and filtration properties. Various drilling fluid formulations were prepared with bentonite as a basic constituent of DFs while Gemini surfactant and graphene nanoparticles were added with concentrations of 0.5%. The rheological and filtration properties were determined at room temperature. The shale inhibition tests were performed to analyze the swelling inhibition properties of DFs. The surface-modified nanoparticles along with the cationic surfactant make a stable dispersion of DFs. The presence of nanoparticles in the DFs enhances the rheological and filtration properties. The filtrate loss has been significantly reduced by incorporating graphene nanoparticles and Gemini surfactant-modified graphene nanoparticles. The rheological properties such as plastic viscosity, yield stress, and gel strengths have been improved by the combined addition of surfactant-modified nanoparticles. The reduction of filtrate loss was due to the clogging effect of small passages in the filter cake while long alkyl chains of surfactant molecules spread over the filter cake making a hydrophobic film that minimizes the contact of water with the filter cake. Moreover, the swelling inhibition test such as the linear swelling test showed that the presence of nanoparticles and cationic surfactants significantly enhanced the shale swelling inhibition and reduced the percentage of swelling compared to the DI water. The cationic surfactant interacts with the negatively charged clay particles through electrostatic forces and surfactant along alkyl chains wraps around the clay particles which leads to the minimum swelling of shale formations. This study reveals that the formulations based on surface-modified nanoparticles and surfactants in water-based DFs can inhibit shale swelling and improves the borehole stability for water-sensitive shale formations.
