This work demonstrates high tunability of nanoribbon band gaps in graphene-based materials, suggesting new pathways for energy applications.
O superatoms to break the overall conjugation, thereby increasing the energy gap. These staggered acenes were further extended into nanoribbons, whose band gaps are widely tuned across a broad range from 0.00 to 2.45 eV. This work reveals the role of P-type LP conjugation in governing the electronic properties of nanoribbons and provides a strategic pathway for band gap engineering in graphene-based materials.
