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%">Karbhal, Indrapal</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Devarapalli, Rami Reddy</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Debgupta, Joyashish</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pillai, Vijayamohanan K.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ajayan, Pulickel M.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Shelke, Manjusha V.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Facile green synthesis of BCN nanosheets as high-performance electrode material for electrochemical energy storage</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chemistry-A European Journal</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">boron</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Doping</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Electrochemistry</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nanoparticles</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">nitrides</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2016</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">MAY</style></date></pub-dates></dates><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">21</style></number><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">POSTFACH 101161, 69451 WEINHEIM, GERMANY</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">22</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">7134-7140</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Two-dimensional hexagonal boron carbon nitride (BCN) nanosheets (NSs) were synthesized by new approach in which a mixture of glucose and an adduct of boric acid (H3BO3) and urea (NH2CONH2) is heated at 900 degrees C. The method is green, scalable and gives a high yield of BCN NSs with average size of about 1 mm and thickness of about 13 nm. Structural characterization of the as-synthesized material was carried out by several techniques, and its energy-storage properties were evaluated electrochemically. The material showed excellent capacitive behaviour with a specific capacitance as high as 244 F g(-1) at a current density of 1 A g(-1). The material retains up to 96% of its initial capacity after 3000 cycles at a current density of 5 A g(-1).&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">21</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%">5.771</style></custom4></record></records></xml>
