  • Synthesis of graphene nanoribbons from monomeric molecular precursors bearing reactive alkyne moieties
    Patent number: 11247905
    Abstract: A method of forming a graphene nanoribbon includes: 1) providing monomeric precursors each including an alkyne moiety and at least one aromatic moiety bonded to the alkyne moiety; 2) polymerizing the monomeric precursors to form a polymer; and 3) converting the polymer to a graphene nanoribbon.
    Type: Grant
