A system for manufacturing graphene nanoribbon by continuous microwave is disclosed. The system comprises a microwave heating tank for heating carbon nanotube through microwave, a reaction tank for adding an oxidizing or reducing agent and a pipeline for connecting all devices of the system. A feed rate is controlled by a pump to enter raw material into the system via the pipeline, the nanotube is made to be a graphene nanoribbon by heating, adding the oxidizing agent, reheating, adding the reducing agent and reheating. Therefore, the graphene nanoribbon could be mass produced automatically in a short time.

System for manufacturing graphene nanoribbon by continuous microwave

A method for forming graphene nanoribbons includes: (a) dispersing carbon nanotubes in a solvent to obtain a nanotube-dispersing solution; (b) adding an oxidant into the nanotube-dispersing solution to obtain a reaction solution; and (c) microwave heating the reaction solution and longitudinally unzipping the carbon nanotubes to form graphene nanoribbons.
