Properties of suspended graphene membranes Chun Ning Lau, Wenzhong Bao, and Jairo Velasco Jr
Lau et al. review work on suspended graphene devices, focusing on their extraordinary mechanical, thermal, and electronic properties. These membranes bridge the traditional divide between “soft” and “hard” condensed matter physics, and have emerged as the ultimate platforms for exploring thin film mechanics, wrinkling instability, thermal transport, and electron scattering and correlations.
SnO2 and TiO2 nanosheets for lithium-ion batteries Jun Song Chen and Xiong Wen (David) Lou
A wide range of nanostructured materials have been shown to exhibit enhanced electrochemical properties as promising electrode materials for high-performance lithium-ion batteries. Chen and Lou discuss tin dioxide (SnO2) and titanium dioxide (TiO2) in relation to their lithium storage properties.
Low-dimensional boron nitride nanomaterials Amir Pakdel, Chunyi Zhi, Yoshio Bando, and Dmitri Golberg
Seventeen years after the initial synthesis of boron nitride nanotubes, these materials have become established as one of the most promising inorganic nanosystems. Golberg and colleagues present a concise history of lowdimensional boron nitride nanomaterials, as well as recent developments in their synthesis, morphology, properties, and applications.
Phononics in low-dimensional materials Alexander A. Balandin and Denis L. Nika
Phonons – quanta of crystal lattice vibrations – reveal themselves in all electrical, thermal, and optical material phenomena. Balandin and Nika outline the general concept of phonon engineering in nanostructured materials and describe methods of tuning the phonon spectrum and transport in grapheme and quasi 2D materials.
Covalent chemistry in graphene electronics Santanu Sarkar, Elena Bekyarova, and Robert C. Haddon
Haddon and co-workers review the quest to delineate the principles of graphene chemistry – that is, the chemistry at the Dirac point and beyond – and the effect of covalent chemistry on the electronic structure, electrical transport, and magnetic properties of this low-dimensional material in order to enable the scalable production of graphene-based devices.
