Graphene nanoribbons as building blocks for unique supramolecular architectures and technologies

化学部支持斯坦福大学的Charina Choi成为美国化学竞争力研究员。崔博士将致力于石墨烯纳米带的合成、化学修饰和研究。PI将与劳伦斯伯克利国家实验室的科学家合作。这项研究的最终目标是更好地了解石墨烯纳米带的电子性质，这将有助于将其整合到新器件中。在扩大参与度的计划中，崔博士将为来自经济困难地区的高中生和教师举办一次年度会议。像崔博士这样的研究旨在更好地了解石墨烯纳米带的电子性质，石墨烯是一种令人兴奋的新型碳基纳米材料。这是一个研究领域，有望带来新型电子设备、传感器等。崔博士正在努力扩大参与度，目的是教育在科学界代表性较低的群体的年轻人，并赋予他们权力。

The Division of Chemistry supports Charina Choi of Stanford University as an American Competitiveness in Chemistry Fellow. Dr. Choi will work on the synthesis, chemical modification, and study of graphene nanoribbons. The PI will collaborate with scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. The ultimate goal of this research is to develop a better understanding of the electronic properties of graphene nanoribbons, which will help lead to their incorporation into new devices. For her plan for broadening participation, Dr. Choi will develop an annual conference for high school students and teachers from economically-disadvantaged areas. Research like that of Dr. Choi is aimed at developing a better understanding of the electronic properties of nanoscale ribbons of graphene - an exciting new carbon-based nanomaterial. This is an area of research which shows promise to lead to new kinds of electronic devices, sensors, etc. The efforts at broadening participation being pursued by Dr. Choi are aimed at educating and empowering young people from groups underrepresented in the sciences.
