Nanospheres composed of small nanoparticles of size around 2.9 +/- 0.4 nm having uniform distribution with a FCC pattern have been evolved during the course of the reaction. Electrochemical results coupled with structural and morphological characterization data from transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and cyclic voltammetry (CV) suggested the formation of Rh nanostructures. Considering the role of the potential of substrate Al and Rh and diffusion of reactant and product species toward and from the surface of the Al, we proposed the tentative mechanism for the formation of microgalvanic cell. Significantly, these: rhodium nanostructures exhibit enhanced electrocatalytic activity toward many fuel cell reactions as demonstrated by formaldehyde oxidation in 0.5 M NaOH. The present strategy is expected to be valid for preparing many other similar electrocatalysts (Pt, Au, and Pd) capable of exhibiting such a remarkable size- and shape-dependent reactivity.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">22</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4.520</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Shinde, Dhanraj B.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Debgupta, Joyashish</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kushwaha, Ajay</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Aslam, Mohammed</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pillai, Vijayamohanan K.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Electrochemical unzipping of multi-walled carbon nanotubes for facile synthesis of high-quality graphene nanoribbons</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Journal of the American Chemical Society</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">MAR</style></date></pub-dates></dates><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">12</style></number><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">AMER CHEMICAL SOC</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1155 16TH ST, NW, WASHINGTON, DC 20036 USA</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">133</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4168-4171</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Here we report a remarkable transformation of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) to nanoribbons composed of a few layers of graphene by a two-step electrochemical approach.

Both these sets of GQDs displayed a remarkable quantum efficiency of 6.3 and 5.1?%, respectively. This method offers a novel strategy to synthesise size-tunable GQDs as evidenced by multiple characterisation techniques like transmission and scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, Raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Photoluminescence of these GQDs can be tailored by size variation through a systematic change in key process parameters, like diameter of carbon nanotube, electric field, concentration of supporting electrolyte and temperature. GQDs are promising candidates for a variety of applications, such as biomarkers, nanoelectronic devices and chemosensors due to their unique features, like high photostability, biocompatibility, nontoxicity and tunable solubility in water.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">39</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5.831

We also demonstrate the enhanced loading and efficient intracellular delivery of therapeutics by P-GQDs.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6.11</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">John, Robin</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Shinde, Dhanraj B.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Liu, Lili</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ding, Feng</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Xu, Zhiping</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vijayan, Cherianath</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pillai, Vijayamohanan K.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pradeep, Thalappil</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sequential electrochemical unzipping of single-walled carbon nanotubes to graphene ribbons revealed by in situ Raman spectroscopy and imaging</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ACS Nano</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">density functional-based tight binding calculations</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Electrochemistry</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">graphene</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Raman spectral mapping</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">single-walled carbon nanotubes</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2014</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">JAN</style></date></pub-dates></dates><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></number><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">AMER CHEMICAL SOC</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1155 16TH ST, NW, WASHINGTON, DC 20036 USA</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">8</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">234-242</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;We report an in situ Raman spectroscopic and microscopic investigation of the electrochemical unzipping of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). Observations of the radial breathing modes (RBMs) using Raman spectral mapping reveal that metallic SWNTs are opened up rapidly followed by gradual unzipping of semiconducting SWNTs. Consideration of the resonant Raman scattering theory suggests that two metallic SWNTs with chiralities (10,4) and (12, 0) get unzipped first at a lower electrode potential (036 V) followed by the gradual unzipping of another two metallic tubes, (9, 3) and (10, 1), at a relatively higher potential (1.16 V). The semiconducting SWNTs with chiralities (11, 7) and (12, 5), however, get open up gradually at +/- 1.66 V. A rapid decrease followed by a subsequent gradual decrease in the metallicity of the SWNT ensemble as revealed from a remarkable variation of the peak width of the G band complies well with the variations of RBM. Cyclic voltammetry also gives direct evidence for unzipping in terms of improved capacitance after oxidation followed by more important removal of oxygen functionalities during the reduction step, as reflected in subtle changes of the morphology confirming the formation of graphene nanoribbons. The density functional-based tight binding calculations show additional dependence of chirality and diameter of nanotubes on the epoxide binding energies, which is in agreement with the Raman spectroscopic results and suggests a possible mechanism of unzipping determined by combined effects of the structural characteristics of SWNTs and applied field.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;13.70&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Shinde, Dhanraj B.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dhavale, Vishal M.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kurungot, Sreekumar</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pillai, Vijayamohanan K.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Electrochemical preparation of nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dots and their size-dependent electrocatalytic activity for oxygen reduction</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bulletin of Materials Science</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">fuel cells</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">MWCNTs</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">N-GQDs</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">oxygen reduction reaction</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">unzipping</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">APR</style></date></pub-dates></dates><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></number><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">INDIAN ACAD SCIENCES</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">C V RAMAN AVENUE, SADASHIVANAGAR, P B \#8005, BANGALORE 560 080, INDIA</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">38</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">435-442</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Here we report a remarkable transformation of nitrogen-doped multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) to size selective nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dots (N-GQDs) by a two-step electrochemical method. The sizes of the N-GQDs strongly depend on the applied anodic potential, moreover increasing potential resulted in a smaller size of N-GQDs. These N-GQDs display many unusual size-dependant optoelectronic (blue emission) and electrocatalytic (oxygen reduction) properties. The presence of N dopants in the carbon framework not only causes faster unzipping of MWCNTs but also provides more low activation energy site for enhancing the electrocatalytic activity for technologically daunting reactions like oxygen reduction. The smaller size of N-GQDs has shown better performance as compared to the large N-GQDs. Interestingly, N-GQDs-3 (size = 2.5 +/- 0.3 nm, onset potential = 0.75 V) show a 30-mV higher positive onset potential shift compared to that of N-GQDs-2 (size = 4.7 +/- 0.3 nm, onset potential = 0.72 V) and 70 mV than that of N-GQDs-1 (size = 7.2 +/- 0.3, onset potential = 0.68 V) for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in a liquid phase. These result in the size-dependent electrocatalytic activity of N-GQDs for ORR as illustrated by the smaller sized N-GQDs (2.5 +/- 0.3 nm) undoubtedly promising metal-free electrocatalysts for fuel cell applications.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Indian&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">0.895</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Khare, Ruchita T.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Shinde, Dhanraj B.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bansode, Sanjeewani</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">More, Mahendra A.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Majumder, Mainak</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pillai, Vijayamohanan K.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Late, Dattatray J.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Graphene nanoribbons as prospective field emitter</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Applied Physics Letters</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">JAN</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">106</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article Number: 023111</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Field emission characteristics of graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) synthesized by unzipping of multiwall carbon nanotubes using a facile hydrothermal route have been investigated at a base pressure of 1 x 10(-8) mbar. The values of turn-on field, required to draw an emission current densities of 1 and 10 mu A/cm(2), are found to be 2.8 and 5.8 V/mu m, respectively, and a maximum emission current density of 500 mu A/cm(2) has been drawn at an applied field of 9.8 V/mu m. The emission current stability of the GNRs emitter was studied at preset values of 1 and 10 mu A over a period of 3 h, and is found to be excellent. The field emission results demonstrated herein suggest that GNRs based field emitters can open up many opportunities for their potential utilization as large area field emitters in various vacuum micro-nanoelectronic devices such as flexible field emission displays, portable X-ray, and microwave tubes.
