Tackling the Energy Crisis with Phosphorene Nanoribbons

AZoNano   -   Nanotechnology Websites

PNRs are ribbon-like strands of the 2D material phosphorous, which like graphene, are composed of layers of atoms that are only single-atom thick. They were produced in 2019 by a group headed by UCL Professor Chris Howard after more than a hundred...
