Abstract

Abstract Image

Nanotemplated growth of graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) inside carbon nanotubes is a promising mean to fabricate ultrathin ribbons with desired side edge configuration. We report the optical properties of the GNRs formed in single-wall carbon nanotubes. When coronene is used as the precursor, extended GNRs are grown via a high-temperature annealing at 700 °C. Their optical responses are probed through the diazonium-based side-wall functionalization, which effectively suppresses the excitonic absorption peaks of the nanotubes without damaging the inner GNRs. Differential absorption spectra clearly show two distinct peaks around 1.5 and 3.4 eV. These peaks are assigned to the optical transitions between the van Hove singularities in the density of state of the GNRs in qualitative agreement with the first-principles calculations. Resonance Raman spectra and transmission electron microscope observations also support the formation of long GNRs.
