Graphene nanoribbons initiated from molecularly derived seeds

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Austin J. Way from the University of have published the paper: Graphene nanoribbons initiated from molecularly derived seeds, in the Journal: NATURE COMMUNICATIONS NATURE COMMUNICATIONS
• what: The authors show that depositing polyaromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) molecules on a catalyst surface prior to nanoribbon synthesis can initiate and seed the subsequent growth of nanoribbons that can be tuned to be as narrow as 2.6 nm and that are substantially more uniform in width than nanoribbons grown without seeds.
• how: The study is distinct in that it demonstrates that when coupled with directional growth . . .
