Abstract
An encapsulated nanoribbon having a nanotube of a dielectric material, wherein the nanotube has a diameter and a first length, and a nanoribbon at least partially encapsulated within the nanotube, the nanoribbon including a transition metal dichalcogenide and having a width and a second length, the second length being coextensive with the first length, and the width being no greater than the diameter. Also disclosed are methods of making the encapsulated nanoribbon.
Claims13
A method of making an encapsulated nanoribbon comprising:
- reacting an encapsulated first precursor with a second precursor to provide an encapsulated nanoribbon, wherein reacting the encapsulated first precursor with the second precursor comprises contacting the encapsulated first precursor with a vapor of the second precursor at an elevated temperature for a time period sufficient to provide the encapsulated nanoribbon.
A method of making an encapsulated nanoribbon comprising encapsulating a first precursor within a nanotube to provide an encapsulated first precursor, and
- reacting the encapsulated first precursor with a second precursor to provide an encapsulated nanoribbon.
A method of making an encapsulated nanoribbon comprising heating at least a first precursor in the presence of a nanotube to an elevated temperature for a time period sufficient to form an encapsulated nanoribbon, wherein the first precursor comprises a transition metal dichalcogenide.
