Etching nanopores in single-layer graphene with a sub-angstrom resolution in molecular sieving

Shiqi Huang

Single-layer graphene (SLG) membranes, hosting molecular-sieving nanopores have been regarded as the ultimate gas separation membranes, attributing to the fact that they are the thinnest possible molecular barrier. However, the expected attractive performa ...

Atomic design of a 2D-material such as graphene can be substantially influenced by etching, deliberately induced in a transmission electron microscope. It is achieved primarily by overcoming the threshold energy for defect formation by controlling the kine ...

WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH2021

Recently, two-dimensional (2D) material based gas sensing, especially transition metal dichalcogenide-based sensing, has been widely investigated thanks to its room temperature sensing ability. Unlike metal oxide based sensors, 2D material-based sensing ca ...

Island formation of Er(trensal) single-ion magnets on graphene observed on the micrometer scale

Christian Wäckerlin, Jan Gui-Hyon Dreiser

We have studied the morphology of Er(trensal) single-ion molecular magnets adsorbed on graphene/Ru(0001) using X-ray photoemission electron microscopy (X-PEEM). By exploiting the elemental contrast at the erbium M-5 edge we observe the formation of molecul ...

Emergence of Potential-Controlled Cu-Nanocuboids and Graphene-Covered Cu-Nanocuboids under Operando CO2 Electroreduction

Magalí Alejandra Lingenfelder, Fernando Pablo Cometto, Karla Banjac, Thanh Hai Phan

The electroreduction of CO2 (CO2RR) is a promising strategy toward sustainable fuels. Cu is the only Earth-abundant and pure metal capable of catalyzing CO2-to-hydrocarbons conversion with significant Faradaic efficiencies; yet, its dynamic structure under ...

Edge Disorder in Bottom-Up Zigzag Graphene Nanoribbons: Implications for Magnetism and Quantum Electronic Transport

Oleg Yazyev, Kristians Cernevics, Michele Pizzochero

We unveil the nature of the structural disorder in bottom-up zigzag graphene nanoribbons along with its effect on the magnetism and electronic transport on the basis of scanning probe microscopies and first-principles calculations. We find that edge-missin ...

Gate Control of Spin-Layer-Locking FETs and Application to Monolayer LuIO

Nicola Marzari, Antimo Marrazzo, Thibault Daniel Pierre Sohier, Rong Zhang

A recent 2D spinFET concept proposes to switch electrostatically between two separate sublayers with strong and opposite intrinsic Rashba effects, exploiting the spin-layer-locking mechanism in centrosymmetric materials with local dipole fields. Here, we p ...

Free-Standing Graphene Oxide and Carbon Nanotube Hybrid Papers with Enhanced Electrical and Mechanical Performance and Their Synergy in Polymer Laminates

Roberto Guarino, Wei Liu

Hybrid nanomaterials fabricated by the heterogeneous integration of 1D (carbon nanotubes) and 2D (graphene oxide) nanomaterials showed synergy in electrical and mechanical properties. Here, we reported the infiltration of carboxylic functionalized single-w ...
