AI Article Synopsis

  • A new method using molten salt is introduced for creating large, flexible sheets of graphene-like material from copper phthalocyanine (CuPc).
  • The process involves using molten potassium chloride (KCl) to control the arrangement and transformation of the materials, leading to successful synthesis.
  • This technique allows for the production of these unique, structured nanomaterials on a scalable level, which could have various applications.

Article Abstract

A facile molten-salt (MS) route for the scalable synthesis of free-standing, long-range oriented and corrugated graphene-like sheets from a copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) precursor is reported. Their unique arrangement and transformation behavior in molten potassium chloride (KCl) play a key role in promoting the successful synthesis of the anisotropic nanostructure.
