Abstract

This paper discusses recent progress made in developing an advanced sp2 carbon-based materials that can be produced by wet coating as a thin layer and processed to form highly ordered arrays of Graphene Nanoribbons (GNRs) that attach to the substrate on edge with their planes parallel to each other. The fabrication method is based on carbonization of organic molecules spatially preordered in crystalline film on the substrate. This material, named Ribtan, can be used to fabricate GNRs films over large areas that exhibit a very smooth film surface and can form strong covalent bonds to the substrate. The width (film thickness) of Ribtan GNRs can be controlled precisely down to a few nanometers. We demonstrated advantage of Ribtan material for application in supercapacitors as well as feasibility for use in transparent electrodes, solid tribological coatings, and thin film transistors.
