Graphene, a single two-dimensional sheet of carbon atoms with an arrangement mimicking
the honeycomb hexagonal architecture, has captured immense interest of the scientific …

Graphene-based materials have attracted considerable attentions due to their unique
properties. However, the negligible and uncontrollable band gap of graphene greatly limits …

Pressure‐induced polymerization (PIP) of aromatics is a novel method for constructing sp3‐
carbon frameworks, and nanothreads with diamond‐like structures were synthesized by …

The conversion of semimetallic suspended graphene (Gr) to a large-gap semiconducting
phase is here realized by controlled adsorption of atomic hydrogen (deuterium) on free …

Due to the small mass and anomalously large neutron scattering cross-section of proton
(about 80 barns compared to a few barns for other nuclei), inelastic neutron scattering is …

Carbon materials are unique materials for their diversity, owing to three possible
hybridisation states (sp, sp 2, sp 3), their ability to switch from one phase to another upon …

Spent LiFePO 4 batteries will surge soon due to the global trend towards adopting electric
vehicles. The recycling of the batteries leaves low value FePO 4 dominated waste (FPW) …

Abstract Benzene (C6H6), while stable under ambient conditions, can become chemically
reactive at high pressures and temperatures, such as under shock loading conditions. Here …

Hydrogenated graphene is an important graphene derivative with semiconductor properties.
A novel and convenient approach via defluorination and hydrogenation of fluorographite …

The high-temperature structural properties of solid benzene were studied at 1.5–8.2 GPa up
to melting or decomposition using multianvil apparatus and in situ neutron and X-ray …
