Low-Temperature Synthesis of Weakly Confined Carbyne inside Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes
Bo-Wen Zhang, Xi-Yang Qiu, Yicheng Ma +16
Carbyne, a one-dimensional (1D) carbon allotrope with alternating triple and single bonds, has the highest known mechanical strength but is unstable to bending, limiting synthesis…
