Abstract

Graphene nanoribbon aerogels are fabricated by directly unzipping multi-walled carbon nanotube sponges. These fascinating materials have potential applications as high performance nanocomposites and supercapacitor electrodes.

Keywords: aerogels; carbon nanotubes; graphene nanoribbon; nanocomposites.
