In this work Few Layers Graphene (FLG) and Graphene Oxide (GO) were produced by using physical and chemical treatments, and two types of applications were tested with GO. The first application concerns the Drug delivery ...

Carbon nano-onions (CNOs), in their spherical or polyhedral forms, represent an important class of nanomaterials due to their peculiar physical and electrochemical properties. Among the different methods of production, ...

This thesis was carried out at the laboratory of the Surface Nanoscience in the Department of Physics of University of Calabria, and at the Institute of Membrane Technology (ITM) of CNR, dealing the study of nanostructured ...

The electronic structure of the graphene/Ni(111) system was investigated by means of electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS). A single layer of graphene has been obtained on Ni(111) by dissociation of ethylene. Angle-resolved ...

The main aim of this thesis is to synthesize and study low-dimensional materials, with special focus on: silicene, PtTe2, carbon nano-onions and activated carbon. The first section of this work describes the study of the ...
