Carbon Nanowalls

Abstract

Carbon nanowalls are graphite nanostructures with edges comprised of stacked planar graphene sheets standing vertically on a substrate. The sheets form a wall structure with thicknesses in the range of a few nanometers to a few tens of nanometers, and with a high aspect ratio.
