Patent ID: 11453649

Abstract:
A graphene nanostructure has a nanographene, a π conjugated functional group bonded to the nanographene via a pyrazine skeleton, and at least one Br group and/or at least one CN group introduced into the π conjugated functional group. A graphene nanostructure preferably has an average size of 1 nm or larger to 100 nm or smaller, a band gap of 0.01 eV or higher to 1.2 eV or lower, and/or a HOMO level of −6.0 eV or higher to −4.0 eV or lower. As the π conjugated functional group into which the Br group(s) and/or the CN group(s) are/is introduced, a 4-bromobenzene group, a 4,5-dibromobenzene group, a 5-bromopyridine group, a 5-bromopyrazine group, a benzonitrile group, a phthalonitrile group, or a 2,3-dicyanopyrazine group is desirable.
