The knowledge of chemical functionalization for area selective deposition (ASD) is crucial for designing the next generation heterogeneous catalysis. Surface functionalization by oxidation was studied on the surface of highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG). The HOPG surface was exposed to with various concentrations of two different acids (HCl and HNO3). We show that exposure of the HOPG surface to the acid solutions produce primarily the same -OH functional group and also significant differences the surface topography. Mechanisms are suggested to explain these strikingly different surface morphologies after surface oxidation. This knowledge can be used to for ASD synthesis methods for future graphene-based technologies.

Objective:This study proposed the simultaneous multi-oxidation of total organic carbon, total nitrogen, and total phosphorous using modified wet chemical oxidation method.Methods:The multi oxidation process was based on the dual radical system with sulfate and hydroxyl radicals. The sodium persulfate (Na2S2O8) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) were activated at 40℃ and UV irradiation with 254 nm to generate the sulfate radical and hydroxyl radical. The organic matters were oxidized by the dual radicals, and TOC, TN, and TP values were compared with the control group.Results and Discussion:The dual radical system oxidized organic carbon to carbon dioxide effectively, and the TOC values were similar to the value obtained from the high-temperature combustion technique. However, the residual persulfate after oxidation process interfered the absorbance for TN and inhibit the complexation in TP measurement. The residual persulfate was effectively converted to sulfate by longer heating and UV irradiation, and the interferences were more sensitive to reaction temperature than UV irradiation time. As a result, a higher temperature condition was more effective and enhanced the applicability of multi-oxidation.Conclusions:The multi oxidation of TOC, TN, and TP was demonstrated by wet chemical oxidation, and the proposed method is expected to secure the sample and reduce the analytic time. However, the more suitable condition to enhance the accuracy of TOC, TN, and TP in the multi-oxidation system should be studied further.

Cu2O was synthesized by a wet-chemical approach, and Pd electrocatalysts supported on cuprous oxide (Pd/Cu2O) and Vulcan XC-72 (Pd/C) were synthesized. The Pd/Cu2O catalyst comprised copper oxide and metallic Cu, improving the catalyst activity for H2O2 electroreduction.
