Since the first observation of fullerene nearly three decades ago, allotropes of carbon,
including carbon nanotube and graphene, have been the focus of considerable research …

This article reviews recent advances on the use of Raman spectroscopy to study and
characterize carbon nanostructures. It starts with a brief survey of Raman spectroscopy of …

The aim of this study was to develop a feasible and cost effective method to produce amine
functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNT-NH 2) and investigate the ability of this …

The last two decades have witnessed a tremendous growth in the development and
understanding of sp 2 carbon-based nanostructures. The impact of this research has led to a …

Linear carbon chains (LCCs) are a one-dimensional sp 1-hybridized allotrope of carbon.
LCCs are extremely unstable: The longer the LCCs, the less stable the materials. Thus, it is …

Ultralong linear carbon chains of more than 6000 carbon atoms have recently been
synthesized within double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWCNTs), and they show a promising …

The unique electronic and vibrational properties of linear carbon chains (LCCs) have
attracted close attention from the scientific community in recent years. Raman spectroscopy …

Long linear carbon chains (LLCCs) encapsulated inside double-walled carbon nanotubes
(DWCNTs) are regarded as a promising realization of carbyne, the truly one-dimensional …

The carbon nanowires are defined as long linear carbon chains (LLCCs) or carbynes
confined inside carbon nanotubes (CNTs). LLCCs were synthesized previously inside multi …

Controlling the defect density in graphene is critical to manipulate materials properties and
functionality through synthesis and processing. In this work, graphene was prepared by …
