Insights to the mechanism of CdSe nanoparticle attachment to carbon nanotubes following the hot injection method are discussed. It was observed that the presence of water improves the nanotube coverage while Cl containing media are…

Advanced composites are used in a variety of industrial applications and therefore attract much scientific interest. Here we describe the formation of novel carbon-based nanocomposites via incorporation of graphene oxide into the crystal…

Carbon is an extremely versatile element and carbon allotropes are very useful in all aspects of life and scientific research. T-carbon is a novel carbon allotrope with many appealing properties. Since the proposal of T-carbon, there has…

Ability to encapsulate molecules is one of the outstanding features of nanotubes. The encapsulation alters physical and chemical properties of both nanotubes and guest species. The latter normally form a separate phase, exhibiting…

Coatings comprised of carbon nanotubes are very black; that is, characterized by low reflectance over a broad wavelength range from the visible to far infrared. Arguably there is no other material that is comparable. This is attributable to…

The atomistic simulations of carbon nanotube (CNT) - carbon reinforced composite material are reported. The studied composite samples were obtained by impregnating certain amounts of CNTs (3,3) and (6,6) into pristine graphite matrix. The…

Graphene nanoribbons are prepared inside boron nitride nanotubes by liquid phase encapsulation and subsequent annealing of 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene. The product is imaged with high resolution transmission electron microscopy, and…

Based on C8, carbon 4C, with cfc topology, two hybrid carbon allotropes generated by inserting C(sp2) and C(sp1) carbon atoms into C8 diamond-like lattice were identified and labeled ene-C10 containing C(sp2) and ene-yne-C14 containing…

Carbon nanoscrolls (CNSs) are nanomaterials with geometry resembling graphene layers rolled up into a spiral (papyrus-like) form. Effects of hydrogenation and temperature on the self-scrolling process of two nanoribbons interacting with a…

A suspended carbon nanotube can act as a nanoscale resonator with remarkable electromechanical properties and the ability to detect adsorption on its surface at the level of single atoms. Understanding adsorption on nanotubes and other…

We have performed quantum Monte Carlo calculations to study the cohesion energetics of carbon allotropes, including $sp^3$-bonded diamond, $sp^2$-bonded graphene, $sp$-$sp^2$ hybridized graphynes, and $sp$-bonded carbyne. The computed…

Along with the inherent remarkable properties of graphene, adatom-intercalated graphene-related systems are expected to exhibit tunable electronic properties. The metal-based atoms could provide multi-orbital hybridizations with the…

Nanomaterials under extreme conditions can behave in a completely different manner. High-velocity impact, for example, can produce nanoribbons without any chemical approach via carbon or boron nitride nanotubes unzipping. Although hybrid…

Two-dimensional (2D) carbon allotropes have received considerable attention due to their unique properties and potential applications in several fields, including electronics, catalysis, energy storage, and sensing. Following the…

Graphene - a single atomic layer of graphite - is a recently-found two-dimensional form of carbon, which exhibits high crystal quality and ballistic electron transport at room temperature. Soft magnetic NiFe electrodes have been used to…

Adsorption is one important way applied to water decontamination, where carbon is commonly used as highly effective absorbent. Carbon of different morphologies and structures normally demonstrate distinct capabilities to adsorption-typed…

Graphene exhibits promise as a plasmonic material with high mode confinement that could enable efficient hot carrier extraction. We investigate the lifetimes and mean free paths of energetic carriers in free-standing graphene, graphite and…

Chemical bondings of graphene oxides with oxygen concentration from 1\% to 50\% are investigated using first-principle calculations. Energy gaps are mainly determined by the competition of orbital hybridizations in C-C, O-O, and C-O bonds.…
