Improved Synthesis of Graphene Oxide

Daniela C. Marcano, +8 more
- 22 Jul 2010 - 
TL;DR: An improved method for the preparation of graphene oxide (GO) is described, finding that excluding the NaNO(3), increasing the amount of KMnO(4), and performing the reaction in a 9:1 mixture of H(2)SO(4)/H(3)PO(4) improves the efficiency of the oxidation process.
Journal ArticleDOI

Longitudinal unzipping of carbon nanotubes to form graphene nanoribbons

Dmitry V. Kosynkin, +6 more
- 16 Apr 2009 - 
TL;DR: A simple solution-based oxidative process for producing a nearly 100% yield of nanoribbon structures by lengthwise cutting and unravelling of multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) side walls is described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Conductance of a Molecular Junction

Mark A. Reed, +9 more
- 10 Oct 1997 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, benzene-1,4-dithiol molecules were self-assembled onto the two facing gold electrodes of a mechanically controllable break junction to form a statically stable gold-sulfur-aryl-solfur-gold system, allowing for direct observation of charge transport through the molecules.
Journal ArticleDOI

Large On-Off Ratios and Negative Differential Resistance in a Molecular Electronic Device.

Jingguang G. Chen, +3 more
- 19 Nov 1999 - 
TL;DR: A molecule containing a nitroamine redox center was used in the active self-assembled monolayer in an electronic device that exhibited negative differential resistance and an on-off peak-to-valley ratio in excess of 1000:1.
Journal ArticleDOI

Laser-induced porous graphene films from commercial polymers

Jian Lin, +8 more
- 10 Dec 2014 - 
TL;DR: A one-step, scalable approach for producing and patterning porous graphene films with 3-dimensional networks from commercial polymer films using a CO2 infrared laser to provide a rapid route to polymer-written electronic and energy storage devices.
