Journal ArticleDOI

On-surface synthesis of graphene nanoribbons with zigzag edge topology

TL;DR: It is expected that the availability of ZGNRs will enable the characterization of their predicted spin-related properties, such as spin confinement and filtering, and will ultimately add the spin degree of freedom to graphene-based circuitry.
Journal ArticleDOI

Two-dimensional polymer formation on surfaces: insight into the roles of precursor mobility and reactivity

TL;DR: It is shown that different balances between diffusion and intermolecular coupling determine the observed branched and compact polyphenylene networks on the Cu and Ag surface, respectively, demonstrating that the choice of the substrate plays a crucial role in the formation of two-dimensional polymers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Surface-assisted cyclodehydrogenation provides a synthetic route towards easily processable and chemically tailored nanographenes.

TL;DR: It is found that the thermally induced cyclodehydrogenation proceeds via several intermediate steps, two of which can be stabilized on the surface, yielding unprecedented insight into a dehydrogenative intramolecular aryl-aryl coupling reaction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Porous Graphene as an Atmospheric Nanofilter

TL;DR: The possibility to use bottom-up approaches to fabricate a filter with porous graphene and analyze its functionality with first principle calculations is investigated and the porous network exhibits an extremely high selectivity in favor of H(2) and He among other atmospheric gases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Superlubricity of graphene nanoribbons on gold surfaces.

TL;DR: The atomically well-defined contact allows us to trace the origin of superlubricity, unraveling the role played by ribbon size and elasticity, as well as by surface reconstruction, and pave the way to the scale-up of superLubricity and thus to the realization of frictionless coatings.
