Graphene and graphite nanoribbons: Morphology, properties, synthesis, defects and applications
Mauricio Terrones,Andrés R. Botello-Méndez,Jessica Campos-Delgado,Florentino López-Urías,Yadira I. Vega-Cantú,Fernando J. Rodríguez-Macías,Ana Laura Elías,Emilio Muñoz-Sandoval,Abraham G. Cano-Márquez,Jean-Christophe Charlier,Humberto Terrones +10 more
TL;DR: A brief overview of carbon nanostructures ranging from C60 to graphene, passing through carbon nanotubes is provided in this article, where the authors present the latest advances in their synthesis and characterization, and discuss new perspectives of tailoring their electronic, chemical, mechanical and magnetic properties based on defect control engineering.
Journal ArticleDOI
Covalently bonded three-dimensional carbon nanotube solids via boron induced nanojunctions
Daniel P. Hashim,Narayanan Tharangattu Narayanan,José M. Romo-Herrera,David A. Cullen,Myung Gwan Hahm,Lezzi Peter Joseph,Joseph Suttle,Doug Kelkhoff,Emilio Muñoz-Sandoval,Sabyasachi Ganguli,Ajit K. Roy,David J. Smith,Robert Vajtai,Bobby G. Sumpter,Vincent Meunier,Humberto Terrones,Humberto Terrones,Mauricio Terrones,Pulickel M. Ajayan +18 more
TL;DR: This work pioneers the bulk synthesis of 3D macroscale nanotube elastic solids directly via a boron-doping strategy during chemical vapour deposition, which influences the formation of atomic-scale “elbow” junctions and nanotubes covalent interconnections.
Journal ArticleDOI
Longitudinal Cutting of Pure and Doped Carbon Nanotubes to Form Graphitic Nanoribbons Using Metal Clusters as Nanoscalpels
Ana Laura Elías,Andrés R. Botello-Méndez,David Meneses-Rodríguez,Viviana Jehová González,Daniel Ramírez-González,Lijie Ci,Emilio Muñoz-Sandoval,Pulickel M. Ajayan,Humberto Terrones,Mauricio Terrones +9 more
TL;DR: The use of transition metal nanoparticles (Ni or Co) to longitudinally cut open multiwalled carbon nanotubes in order to create graphitic nanoribbons is reported, offering an alternative approach for making graphene nanorIBbons, compared to the chemical methods reported recently in the literature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pure and doped boron nitride nanotubes
Mauricio Terrones,José M. Romo-Herrera,Eduardo Cruz-Silva,Florentino López-Urías,Emilio Muñoz-Sandoval,J. J. Velazquez-Salazar,Humberto Terrones,Yoshio Bando,Dmitri Golberg +8 more
TL;DR: A review of the latest advances related to the synthesis of boron nitride (BN) nanotubes can be found in this paper, where it is shown that these tubes can now be produced in larger amounts and, in particular, that the chemistry of BN tubes appears to be very important to the production of reinforced composites with insulating characteristics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electronic transport and mechanical properties of phosphorus- and phosphorus-nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes.
Eduardo Cruz-Silva,Florentino López-Urías,Emilio Muñoz-Sandoval,Bobby G. Sumpter,Humberto Terrones,Jean-Christophe Charlier,Vincent Meunier,Mauricio Terrones +7 more
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that substitutional P and PN doping creates localized electronic states that modify the electron transport properties by acting as scattering centers, which display promising properties for components in composite materials and, in particular, for fast response and ultra sensitive sensors operating at the molecular level.
