Efficient p-terphenyl-catalyzed photoreduction of CO2 to carbon monoxide can be achieved by combination with Cobalt3+–cyclam (cyclam = 1,4,8,11-tetra-azacyclotetradecane) as an electron mediator in organic solvent.
A multilayer graphene nanoribbon (GNR) less than 20 nm wide was synthesized by overlayer growth of graphene on a GNR template. First, very narrow template GNRs with widths of approximately 10 nm were prepared by unzipping from double-walled carbon nanotubes. Additional 4–5 layers of graphene were then formed on the pristine GNR template by chemical vapor deposition. Raman spectroscopy revealed that the synthesized multilayer GNR had turbostratic stacking without any structural correlation between the graphene layers. A large on/off ratio and a high on-current were observed in field effect transistors fabricated using the synthesized multilayer GNR channel.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
