  • ULTRATHIN NANORIBBONS OF HIGHLY ANISOTROPIC LAYERED MATERIAL AND METHOD OF PRODUCTION
    Publication number: 20240059565
    Abstract: Black phosphorous (BP) flakes are nanostructured via electrochemical intercalation of Na+ ions into bundles of phosphorene nanoribbons (PNRs). The large diffusion barrier of Na+ ions along the armchair direction leads to a well-defined columnar intercalation of Na+ ions in BP, resulting in the long zigzag-oriented columns of disordered material. The sonication of the bundles is then used to separate the PNRs.

  • Methods for synthesizing carbon nanocages
    Patent number: 10584033
    Abstract: A method for synthesizing carbon nanocages, including N-doped carbon nanocages, includes a first step of forming a solution including a metal salt and an organic carbon source; a second step of drying the solution to obtain a precursor powder; and a third step of annealing the precursor powder to obtain a nanocage including a metal nanoparticle surrounded by a carbon shell. The metal nanoparticle is then removed from the carbon shell by applying an acid solution.
