Spray-on deicing material that incorporates graphene nanoribbons would be lighter cheaper and more effective than current methods Tour says.
but graphene nanoribbons (GNRS) unzipped from multiwalled carbon nanotubes in a chemical process invented by the Tour group in 2009 do the job nicely he says.

By adding modified single-atom-thick graphene nanoribbons (GNRS) to thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) the team at Rice made it 1000 times harder for gas molecules to escape Tour says.
But graphene nanoribbons are already there. Tour s breakthrough nzippingtechnique for turning multiwalled carbon nanotubes into GNRS first revealed in Nature in 2009 has been licensed for industrial production. hese are being produced in bulk

Rice university chemist James Tour and colleagues, who developed a method for unzipping nanotubes into graphene nanoribbons (GNRS),
figured out how to make graphene nanoribbons in bulk and are moving toward commercial applications. One area ripe for improvement is the humble battery.
In the new experiments, the Rice lab mixed graphene nanoribbons and tin oxide particles about 10 nanometers wide in a slurry with a cellulose gum binder and a bit of water, spread it on a current collector

In a new study, they figure out how researchers can fracture graphene nanoribbons to get the edges they need for applications.
New research by Rice physicist Boris Yakobson and his colleagues shows it should be possible to control the edge properties of graphene nanoribbons by controlling the conditions under

and give rise to perfectly specified graphene nanoribbons by means of a highly reproducible process and without any other external mediation than heating to the required temperature.
) centre extended this very concept to new molecules that were forming wider graphene nanoribbons and therefore with new electronic properties This same group has managed now to go a step further by creating through this self-assembly heterostructures that blend segments of graphene nanoribbons of two different widths.
The forming of heterostructures with different materials has been a concept widely used in electronic engineering and has enabled huge advances to be made in conventional electronics.
We have managed now for the first time to form heterostructures of graphene nanoribbons modulating their width on a molecular level with atomic precision.

#New self-assembly method for fabricating graphene nanoribbons First characterized in 2004 graphene is a two-dimensional material with extraordinary properties.
Now scientists from UCLA and Tohoku University have discovered a new self-assembly method for producing defect-free graphene nanoribbons with periodic zigzag-edge regions.
In this bottom-up technique researchers use a copper substrate's unique properties to change the way the precursor molecules react to one another as they assemble into graphene nanoribbons.
Making zigzag edges does both of these simultaneously as there are some special properties of graphene nanoribbons with zigzag edges.

#Doped graphene nanoribbons with potential Graphene is a semiconductor when prepared as an ultra-narrow ribbon although the material is actually a conductive material.
Furthermore the team has managed successfully to remove graphene nanoribbons from the gold substrate on which they were grown
Empa researchers from the nanotech@surfaces laboratory thus developed a method some time ago to synthesise a form of graphene with larger bandgaps by allowing ultra-narrow graphene nanoribbons to grow via molecular self-assembly.
Graphene nanoribbons made of differently doped segmentsthe researchers led by Roman Fasel have achieved now a new milestone by allowing graphene nanoribbons consisting of differently doped subsegments to grow.
The researchers describe the corresponding heterojunctions in segmented graphene nanoribbons in the recently published issue of Nature Nanotechnology.
Transferring graphene nanoribbons onto other substratesin addition the scientists have solved another key issue for the integration of graphene nanotechnology into conventional semiconductor industry:
As long as the graphene nanoribbons remain on a metal substrate (such as gold used here) they cannot be used as electronic switches.
Fasel's team and colleagues at the Max-Planck-Institute for Polymer Research in Mainz have succeeded in showing that graphene nanoribbons can be transferred efficiently
The semiconducting graphene nanoribbons are particularly attractive as they allow smaller and thus more energy efficient and faster electronic components than silicon.
However the generalized use of graphene nanoribbons in the electronics sector is anticipated not in the near future due in part to scaling issues
Fasel estimates that it may still take about 10 to 15 years before the first electronic switch made of graphene nanoribbons can be used in a product.
Graphene nanoribbons for photovoltaic componentsphotovoltaic components could also one day be based on graphene. In a second paper published in Nature Communications Pascal Ruffieux also from the Empa nanotech@surfaces laboratory
Ruffieux and his team have noticed that particularly narrow graphene nanoribbons absorb visible light exceptionally well and are therefore highly suitable for use as the absorber layer in organic solar cells.
which absorbs light equally at all wavelengths the light absorption in graphene nanoribbons can be increased enormously in a controlled way
whereby researchers set the width of the graphene nanoribbons with atomic precision n

#Lab unzips nanotubes into ribbons by shooting them at a target (Phys. org) Carbon nanotubes unzipped into graphene nanoribbons by a chemical process invented at Rice university are finding use in all kinds of projects
One-step chemical-free clean and high-quality graphene nanoribbons can be produced using our method. They're potential candidates for next-generation electronic materials he said.
phys_org 00507.txt
However if it is parallel to the target upon impact the nanotube will unzip resulting in a 2d graphene nanoribbon.
Unzipping carbon nanotubes to create 2d graphene nanoribbons is very useful in nanoscience but until now it has typically been achieved with chemical contaminants that leave back contaminants.
By demonstrating for the first time that nanotubes can be unzipped quickly through mechanical means the new study offers a clean-cut a clean chemical-free way to produce high-quality graphene nanoribbons.
As the researchers explained graphene nanoribbons have certain advantages over both nanotubes and graphene that make them attractive for applications.
Graphene nanoribbons are good candidates for active materials in electronics being the channel of field-effect transistors coauthor Dr. Robert Vajtai at Rice university told Phys. org.
