Graphene, since the demonstration of its easy isolation by the exfoliation of graphite in 2004 by Novoselov, Geim and co-workers, has been attracting enormous attention in the scientific …
The quest for planar sp2-hybridized carbon allotropes other than graphene, such as graphenylene and biphenylene networks, has stimulated substantial research efforts …
Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), an emerging family of layered materials, have provided researchers a fertile ground for harvesting fundamental science …
Using systematic evolutionary structure searching we propose a new carbon allotrope, phagraphene [fæ'græfi: n], standing for p enta-h exa-hept a-graphene, because the structure …

We present an equation of state (EOS) that describes how the hydrostatic change in surface area is related to two-dimensional in-plane pressure (F) and yields the measure of a …
Various two-dimensional (2D) carbon allotropes with nonalternant topologies, such as pentaheptites and phagraphene, have been proposed. Predictions indicate that these …
In a very recent accomplishment, the two-dimensional form of biphenylene network (BPN) has been fabricated. Motivated by this exciting experimental result on 2D layered BPN …
The cost effective synthesis and patterning of carbon nanomaterials is a challenge in electronic and energy storage devices. Here we report a one-step, scalable approach for …
Carbon is a unique and very versatile element which is capable of forming different architectures at the nanoscale. Over the last 20 years, new members of the carbon …
