Graphene: Tunable superdoping

Nature Energy volume 1, Article number: 16041 (2016) Cite this article

Subjects

Doping graphitic materials is desirable to enhance their performance for energy conversion and storage applications, but achieving high dopant concentrations remains a challenge. Researchers now demonstrate synthesis of such materials with very high doping levels and facile tunability.
