Abstract:

This talk will present our work on carbon nanotubes, graphene nanoribbons and graphene-metal oxide hybrid materials. Biological applications of carbon nanotubes will be discussed. I will then talk about graphene nanoribbons, including several methods recently developed in our lab to form high quality graphene nanoribbons with narrow widths and smooth edges. Lastly, I will talk about our recent work on making nanoparticles and nanocrystals on graphene sheets for energy storage and photocatalytic applications.
