Journal ArticleDOI
Improved Synthesis of Graphene Oxide
Daniela C. Marcano,Dmitry V. Kosynkin,Jacob M. Berlin,Alexander Sinitskii,Zhengzong Sun,Alexander S. Slesarev,Lawrence B. Alemany,Wei Lu,James M. Tour +8 more
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,Amanda L. Higginbotham,Alexander Sinitskii,Jay R. Lomeda,Ayrat M. Dimiev,B. Katherine Price,James M. Tour +6 more
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,Mark A. Reed,Chongwu Zhou,Chongwu Zhou,C. J. Muller,C. J. Muller,T. P. Burgin,T. P. Burgin,James M. Tour,James M. Tour +9 more
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.
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,Zhiwei Peng,Yuanyue Liu,Francisco Ruiz-Zepeda,Ruquan Ye,Errol L. G. Samuel,Miguel Jose Yacaman,Boris I. Yakobson,James M. Tour +8 more
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.
