In situ electrochemical organization of CdSe nanoclusters on graphene during unzipping of carbon nanotubes.
نویسندگان
چکیده
In situ decoration of very small CdSe quantum dots on graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) has been achieved during the electrochemical unzipping of single walled carbon nanotubes. Critical parameters like the width of the GNRs, size distribution of quantum dots and their organization on GNRs have been shown to be strongly dependent on the electric field and time.

Sequential electrochemical unzipping of single-walled carbon nanotubes to graphene ribbons revealed by in situ Raman spectroscopy and imaging.
We report an in situ Raman spectroscopic and microscopic investigation of the electrochemical unzipping of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). Observations of the radial breathing modes (RBMs) using Raman spectral mapping reveal that metallic SWNTs are opened up rapidly followed by gradual unzipping of semiconducting SWNTs. Consideration of the resonant Raman scattering theory suggests that...
متن کاملDopant-specific unzipping of carbon nanotubes for intact crystalline graphene nanostructures
Atomic level engineering of graphene-based materials is in high demand to enable customize structures and properties for different applications. Unzipping of the graphene plane is a potential means to this end, but uncontrollable damage of the two-dimensional crystalline framework during harsh unzipping reaction has remained a key challenge. Here we present heteroatom dopant-specific unzipping ...

We report the enhanced capacitance of the Multi-Walled Carbon NanoTubes (MWCNTs) after a chemical unzipping process in concentrated sulfuric acid (H2SO4) and potassium permanganate (KMnO4). The effects of the test duration and temperature were investigated on the unzipping process of the MWCNTs to synthesize the graphene oxide nanoribbons. The SEM and TEM studies were carried out on untreated a...

We report an in situ transmission electron microscopy study of the electrochemical behavior of few-layer graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) synthesized by longitudinal splitting the multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). Upon lithiation, the GNRs were covered by a nanocrystalline lithium oxide layer attached to the surfaces and edges of the GNRs, most of which were removed upon delithiation, indicati...
