Graphene is an intriguing material with properties that are distinct from those of other graphitic
systems 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. The first samples of pristine graphene were obtained by ‘peeling off’2…

Carbon materials have been playing a significant role in the development of alternative clean
and sustainable energy technologies. This review article summarizes the recent research …

… then connected to the Li 2 O/Li end. The Si nanowire lithiates first and transports Li to the MSS
particle. … 5) indicated a Li:Si atomic ratio of 3.75, which corresponds to full lithiation at room …

… low-cost Li-ion batteries. Si is a promising anode material for next-generation Li-ion batteries
… also good access for the fast transport of Li ions. Stable cycling with initial capacities close …

Graphene-based gas/vapor sensors have attracted much attention in recent years due to their
variety of structures, unique sensing performances, room-temperature working conditions, …

While sodium‐ion batteries (SIBs) represent a low‐cost substitute for Li‐ion batteries (LIBs),
there are still several key issues that need to be addressed before SIBs become market‐…

We developed a chemical route to produce graphene nanoribbons (GNR) with width below
10 nanometers, as well as single ribbons with varying widths along their lengths or …

Graphene is readily p-doped by adsorbates, but for device applications, it would be useful
to access the n-doped material. Individual graphene nanoribbons were covalently …

Rechargeable aqueous batteries such as alkaline zinc/manganese oxide batteries are highly
desirable for large-scale energy storage owing to their low cost and high safety; however, …

We developed a simple chemical method to obtain bulk quantities of N-doped, reduced
graphene oxide (GO) sheets through thermal annealing of GO in ammonia. X-ray photoelectron …
