Even though from past decade, immense research has been done by materials scientists in this field, but the chemistry is still not yet satisfactory. Here, in this work, through the discovery of Nanogate structure, we have reported for the first time the experimental results that enlightened the clear chemistry between the GO and ZnS which is further supported by the DFT calculations. This novel synthesis method led to the discovery of nanogate structure sandwiched between the GO layers. The nanogate formation also shows enhanced properties for various applications like photocatalytic activities, etc. Due to the nanogate formation, there might be a possibility of enormous generation of electrons on excitation of the composite materials, which can be a boom for various applications like photocatalysis, water splitting, solar cell, etc.</p>1 aKumar, Praveen1 aLuwang, Meitram, Niraj  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/synthesis-nanogate-structure-go-zns-sandwich-material01610nas a2200181   4500008004100000022001400041245013500055210006900190260000800259300001200267490000700279520091500286100001901201700002101220700003001241700002701271856013001298       2022                        eng d  a0020-166900aSulfur functionalization via epoxide ring opening on a reduced graphene oxide surface to form metal (II) Organo-bis-[1,2]-oxathiin0 aSulfur functionalization via epoxide ring opening on a reduced g  cJAN  a279-2860 v613 a<p>
	The epoxide ring-opening reaction in graphene oxide (GO) by nucleophiles is a very fascinating and advanced methodology to develop novel functional material. Herewith, we report an advanced strategy for opening the epoxide ring on the rGO surface via easily an available nucleophile (Na2S), which is further functionalized with O atom to obtain four-membered rings (FMRs). The Cd coordination with the S atom puts extra stress on the FMR leading to the C-C bond cleavage of the four-membered heteroatomic rings on the rGO surface. This strategic approach leads to the fabrication of an innovative metal organo-bis-[1,2]-oxathiin (MOBOT) chemical moiety (M = Cd, Zn). The MOBOT compound further shows enhanced H-2 generation activity and hence is promising as a potential photocatalyst for solar hydrogen generation. This compound might also be a potential candidate for optoelectronic applications.</p>
