NICOP - Penta-graphene Material Properties
Abstract
Title: Penta-graphene Material Properties PI: Professor Yoshiyuki Kawazoe Project Summary/Abstract: This project aims to theoretically estimate new physical/ chemical/ electronic/ mechanical properties in penta-graphene, which specific atomic structure we have predicted early this year, and to experimentally produce penta-graphene based on the accumulated experience on carbon nanostructure formation of the project team. A number of researchers over the world are working hard on normal graphene, and this project research adds a new field of interest in the community of graphene research. While there are difficulties to control for example electronic properties of carbon nanotubes (only mixture of metallic and semiconducting nanotubes have been produced so far), penta-nanotube may solve this long standing problem and make carbon nanostructure really useful in industrial applications. In addition, the negative Poisson’s ratio predicted for penta-graphene opens a new research of non-shape change material under pressure for wider applications. Since penta-graphene is a fundamentally new carbon allotrope and has already attracted a number of strong attentions in not only scientific journals but also general news-media, the expected results by this application should be published in high impact factor journals and invited to leading international conferences.
