Bottom-Up Fabrication Method Produces Defect-Free Graphene Nanoribbons

Researchers from Tohoku University have developed a new method to produce defect-free graphene nanoribbons (GNRs). The technique produces GNRs with periodic zigzag-edge regions by using a bottom-up fabrication method. The length distribution and growth direction of the GNR are controlled by this method.
