Graphene has been viewed as one of the most promising materials in many fields. Recently, it has been found that by using Cu-decoration at the edge of zigzag graphene nanoribbons (ZGNR), a novel kind of planar tetracoordinate carbon (ptC) strip can be formed. In this paper, we investigate the edge-decoration of armchair graphene nanoribbons (AGNR) by various atom types and find that two new kinds of ptC strip can be effectively formed by using Be or B decoration. For the Be-decorated AGNR, the edge Be atoms take the form of a “zigzag-like” chain, and all the edge C atoms have a ptC nature. However, for the B-decorated AGNR, the edge B atoms form an infinite yet “fractured” chain consisting of separate B4-subunits, which results in only 50% of the edge C atoms being ptCs, in contrast with Be-decorated AGNR and Cu-decorated ZGNR. The high thermal stability of both types of ptC-based AGNR is indicated by isomeric sampling and molecular dynamics simulations.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
