Preface
ThisvolumecontainsselectedinvitedpaperspresentedatGraphITA(BolognaItaly
September 14–18, 2015—http://graphita.bo.imm.cnr.it), a multidisciplinary and
inter-sectorial European conference on synthesis, characterization and applications
of Graphene and other 2D materials. The event was jointly organized by the
CNR-IMM (Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, Istituto per la Microelettronica e
Microsistemi) of Bologna and the Department of Physical and Chemical Sciences
of the University of L’Aquila. At variance from GraphITA 2011, this volume is
focusedoninvitedreviewpapersmostlycontributedbytheinvitedspeakersofthe
conference. Though, all the contributors are, in their respective fields, top players
internationallyacknowledged,howeverallthesubmittedpapersweresubmittedtoa
peer review process.
Thisvolumebeginswithcloselyrelatedandcomplementarytheoreticalworkson
phonon, Raman scattering, and electron phonon coupling in graphene (Chapters
“Thermal Transport in Nanocrystalline Graphene: The Role of Grain Boundaries”,
“Raman Spectroscopy of Graphene Nanoribbons: A Review”, and “Electron–
Phonon Coupling in Two-Dimensional Superconductors: Doped Graphene and
phosphorene” respectively). The latter point is then reviewed with an excellent
experimental contribution (Chapter “Elastic Properties and Electron–Phonon
Coupling of Graphene/Metal Interfaces Probed by Phonon Dispersion”). Then, the
volumeproceedswithanabinitiostudyofthedopingeffectongraphene,tomove
towards the investigation of the role of defects on other 2D materials (TMDs)
(Chapters “Ab Initio Calculations and Kinetic Process Simulations of Nitrogen-
DopedGraphene”,and“FromPointtoLineDefectsinTwo-DimensionalTransition
MetalDichalcogenides:InsightsfromTransmissionElectronMicroscopyandFirst-
Principles Calculations” respectively). The paper presented in Chapter “Morphing
Graphene-BasedSystemsforApplications:PerspectivesfromSimulations”linksthe
first part of the volume with the second and addresses the issue of tailoring the
modellingapproachesinthesimulationsofgraphene-basedsystemstowardsamore
realistic comparison with experiments at coarse scales. In Chapter “Perfecting the

for Optoelectronic Applications”, an up-to-date survey of the real world of CVD

vi Preface
growth of graphene is presented. This chapter paths the way for the rest of the
volume which is more focused on applications of graphene and other 2D systems:
electronics (in Chapter “Advances in the Fabrication of Large-Area Back-Gated
GrapheneField-EffectTransistorsonPlastics:PlatformforFlexibleElectronicsand
Sensing”), growth of other 2D “enes” (Chapter “Silicene in the Flatland”), energy
storage(Chapter“DecoratedandModifiedGraphenesasElectrodesinNaandLi-Ion
Batteries”), gas sensing (Chapter “Chemically Exfoliated Layered Materials for
Practical Gas Sensing Applications”), functional materials generation (Chapter
“Solutions of Reduced Carbon Allotropes and Their Utilization for Functional
Material Generation”), fabrication of foams (Chapter “Synthesis of High-Density
Graphene Foams using Nanoparticle Templates”) and novel advanced functional
materials based on proteins and graphene (Chapter “Protein-Based Nanostructures
andTheirSelf-assemblywithGrapheneOxide”),tofinishwithasurveyofnanobio
applications ofgraphene biocomposites (Chapter “GrapheneBionicomposites”).
In summary, although completeness is by far too an ambitious goal in a
single-volume survey of the exploding multidisciplinary research on the world of
2D materials, this book is however a nice journey through 2D materials from
fundamentals and applications.

Thermal Transport in Nanocrystalline
Graphene: The Role of Grain
Boundaries
K.R. Hahn, C. Melis and L. Colombo
Abstract Single grain boundaries of crystalline graphene with varying mismatch
angles from 3° to 16° have been investigated using molecular dynamics simula-
tions.Four-toeight-atomicringsarefoundtobethemostabundantnon-hexagonal
polygons in the grain boundary for all mismatch angles. Tetra- and octagons are
predominant for mismatch angles of 4.1° and 6.6° in contrast to nanocrystalline
samples where penta- and heptagons are dominating. Out-of-plane buckling at the
grain boundary is most pronounced for a mismatch angle of 3.0° and it tends to
decrease with increasing mismatch angle. At 16.1°, the out-of-plane buckling
vanishes.Analysisofthevibrationaldensityofstatesofboundaryatomsrevealeda
significant decrease of the main peak of optical vibrations and the evolution of
secondary peaks below and above the major frequency attributed to vibrations of
non-hexagonalrings.Thethermalboundaryresistanceinsinglegrapheneinterfaces
has been approximated. It tends to increase with increasing mismatch angle, indi-
cating reduced thermalconductivity when such interfaces arepresentincrystalline
graphene. In nanocrystalline graphene samples, the thermal conductivity is signif-
icantlyreducedwithrespecttocrystallinegrapheneanditdecreaseswithdecreasing
grain size according to an increasing number of single boundaries.
