Stitching nanostrips together to create new 2D heterogeneous materials: a novel synthesis technique
A research team led by ICREA Prof. Aitor Mugarza, group leader at the ICN2, devised a novel bottom-up method to assemble 2D lateral superlattice heterostructures composed of interdigitated pristine and nitrogen-doped graphene nanoribbons. Designed with unprecedented precision, this nanomaterial exhibits properties relevant for application in photodetection, excitonic solar cells, water splitting, or selective nanofiltration.
