Abstract:
The front cover artwork is provided by Takeharu Haino's group. The image shows the fragmentation of a graphene sheet by chemical oxidation, producing nanographenes. The quantum size effect opens the band gap of nanographenes, allowing them to emit photoluminescence in the visible region. Read the full text of the Concept at 10.1002/cphc.202200311.
