Synthesis of graphene nanoribbons inside boron nitride nanotubes
Abstract
We report on bottom‐up synthesis of graphene nanoribbons inside boron nitride nanotubes, using coronene molecules as building blocks. The synthesized ribbons are one or two coronene molecules wide, depending on the diameter of the host nanotube. The encapsulated carbon nanostructures can be eliminated from the inner cavity of the filled boron nitride nanotube via oxidation without any damage to the nanotube structure.
