Physico-chemical properties and toxicological effects on plant and algal models of carbon nanosheets from a nettle fibre clone
Abstract Carbon nanosheets are two-dimensional nanostructured materials that have applications as energy storage devices, electrochemical sensors, sample supports, filtration membranes, thanks to their high porosity and surface area. Here, for the first time, carbon nanosheets have been prepared fro...
