In fact, the unsaturation of the pz orbitals and the break of the π conjugation on an edge increase the energy of the electrons at the edge sites, leading to specific chemical reactivity and electronic properties. Given the relevance of the chemistry at the edges in many aspects of graphene...
The edge chemistry of patterned graphene nanoribbons (GNR) lies intermediate between graphene and benzene, and the corresponding strain lifts the degeneracy that otherwise promotes metallicity in bulk graphene. At the same time, roughness at the edges washes out chiral signatures, making the nanoribbon...
There have been many attempts to induce decoupling without removal of the layer in the past. Simple immersion in water for some hours in the case of Gr/Cu has been reported to lead to the formation of an oxide, leading to decoupled graphene flakes [8]. Also, insertion of atomic or ...
Spurred by advances in energy-harvesting materials, a new generation of advanced implantable biomedical devices is emerging that does away with the bulky battery. James Mitchell Crow reports Research Graphene oxide sponge soaks up gold from electronic waste Composite many times more effective at capturin...

Track 4: Carbon Nanostructures and Graphene Carbon nanoparticles, nanotubes and nanodiamonds, are considered as promising building blocks for the construction of novel nanomaterials for emerging industrial technologies. Nanocomposite carbon-based substrates are a large group of materials promising for medicine...
with an emphasis on bioinorganic chemistry and a new chapter on nanostructures and graphene. More in-text worked-out examples encourage active learning and prepare students for their exams.This text is ideal for advanced undergraduate and graduate-level students enrolled in the Inorganic Chemistry cours...
mechanism of fullerene formation: (i) loss of carbon atoms at the edge of graphene, leading to (ii) the formation of pentagons, which (iii) triggers the curving of graphene into a bowl-shaped structure and which (iv) subsequently zips up its open edges to form a closed fullerene ...
Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) have been widely studied in recent years due to its unique structure-related properties, such as optical, electrical and optoelectrical properties. GQDs are considered new kind of quantum dots (QDs), as they are chemically and physically stable because of its intrinsic...
