Lower-Defect Graphene Oxide Nanoribbons from Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes

An improved method is described for the production of graphene oxide nanoribbons (GONRs) via longitudinal unzipping of multiwalled carbon nanotubes. The method produces GONRs with fewer defects and/or holes on the basal plane, maintains narrow ribbons
