Graphene oxide (GO) is an important intermediate to prepare graphene and it is also a versatile material with various applications. However, despite its importance, the detailed structure of GO is still unclear. For example, previous…

Because of the dominant role of the surface of molecules and their individuality, molecules behave dis-tinctively in a confined space, which has far-reaching implications in many physical, chemical and bio-logical systems. Here, we…

Most popular atomically thin carbon material, called graphene, has got no band gap and this particular property of graphene makes it less useful from the aspect of nanoscale transistor devices. The band gap can be introduced in the graphene…
