Following the discovery of graphene, its two-dimensional (2D) structure and its electronic and mechanical properties have gained much attention from the research community. Graphene is extensively ...

Researchers have discovered a new way to grow graphene that deliberately adds structural defects to enhance its usefulness in electronics, sensors, catalysts, and more. Using a specially shaped ...

New findings reveal that organosulfate groups, not carboxyls, control graphene oxide's surface charge in water, challenging long-standing models and reshaping its chemical profile. (Nanowerk Spotlight ...

The study was conducted under the project New approaches to deciphering the structure and chemical properties of graphene oxide, supported by a grant from the Russian Science Foundation. Graphene ...

GNRs can be synthesized through top-down or bottom-up methods, each providing precise control over their structure and enabling their use in advanced nanoelectronics and spintronics. GNRs are created ...

(Nanowerk News) The assembly of graphene and other emerging two-dimensional (2D) materials into cellular structures can avoid intersheet restack and retain their outstanding intrinsic properties, ...

image: Natural graphite, used as the precursor for graphene oxide production, is a highly ordered crystalline inorganic material, which is believed to be formed by decay of organic matter. It is ...

German and US scientists recently reported an unusual feat: they observed the world's fastest chemical reaction, during which hydrogen atoms bind onto and then leave a sheet of graphene, all within ...

Not so long ago, graphene was the great new wonder material. A super-strong, atom-thick sheet of carbon “chicken wire,” it can form tubes, balls, and other curious shapes. And because it conducts ...

By creating a new graphene material, engineers were able to facilitate the movement of ions and increase the power and energy ...
