This paper explores innovative techniques for synthesizing graphene sheets and nanoribbons (GNRs) suitable for large-scale applications. Methods such as the peel-off technique, epitaxial growth, and chemical processes are discussed, referencing foundational studies. The fabrication of GNRs from multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) is detailed, including the etching and dimensional distribution. The electrical characteristics of GNRs are examined, highlighting their p-type behavior and the impact of dimensionality on electrical performance and bandgap opening.

Making GNR from MWCNT • - PMMA- MWCNT film was peeled off in KOH solution • Top side wall of MWCNT were etched faster and • removed by plasma
Diameter/Width/Height distribution Diameter distribution of pristine MWCNT Width and height distribution of GNR
