The group is working on the chemical design of novel functional materials for applications in electronics, photonics, sensors and energy storage. Such materials include graphene, carbon nanotubes, inorganic nanowires, colloidal particles, macroporous oxides and some others. Our strategy is to control the structure and composition of these materials at nanoscale to define their properties.<\/p>\n

          One of the examples includes graphene-based nanostructures, such as nanoribbons and nanomeshes. Graphene, a two-dimensional material composed of carbon atoms packed in a honeycomb lattice, is attracting enormous interest due to its remarkable electronic, mechanical and thermal properties. Graphene has a great potential for electronics, but it cannot be directly used as a replacement for silicon in logic applications, because it has no bandgap. However, the bandgap can be opened if graphene is carved into nanostructures such as nanoribbons or nanomeshes (Figure 1a) with feature sizes less than 10 nm, which enables making graphene-based field-effect transistors with high on-off ratios. This is a vivid example of how controlling material\u2019s structure at nanoscale defines its physical properties.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":1,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/P5qrjz-gF","_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/chemweb.unl.edu\/sinitskii\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1033"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/chemweb.unl.edu\/sinitskii\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/chemweb.unl.edu\/sinitskii\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/chemweb.unl.edu\/sinitskii\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/chemweb.unl.edu\/sinitskii\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1033"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/chemweb.unl.edu\/sinitskii\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1033\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1386,"href":"http:\/\/chemweb.unl.edu\/sinitskii\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1033\/revisions\/1386"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/chemweb.unl.edu\/sinitskii\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1033"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
