Summary of the technology
a) SUBSTITUTED POLYAROMATICS to be used as building blocks in the preparation of graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) of graphene quantum dots (GQDs).
b) WELL-DEFINED NANOSIZED GRAPHENES obtained by solution chemistry: homogeneous, different sizes, peripheries and substitution.
Description of the technology
We offer:
SUBSTITUTED POLYAROMATICSto be used as building blocks in the preparation of graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) of graphene quantum dots (GQDs). These designed monomers have shown to be useful for the on-surface preparation of GNRs with diverse widths and lengths.

Method for producing nanocorundumResearchers from Geology Department of University of Valencia have developed a novel method for producing corundum of low crystallinity (nanocorundum) using natural or synthetic commodities in solid state, without pre-treatment. The process of the invention makes it possible to obtain a product with a nanocrystalline nature, composed of tabular- or plate-shaped primary nanoparticles in porous microcrystalline aggregates, which facilitates the subsequent disaggregation process thereof into powders that have an immediate application as ultra-fine abrasives and as loads (or fillers) in plastics or other types of materials. This characteristic represents a significant advantage of the product of the invention, since compact corundum is a hard, difficult-to-grind material.Universitat de València posted this:
New method for the production of metallic oxides with spinel structureThis procedure is faster, with lower energy consumption and generates purer spinels than known methods for spinel production. With this invention, it’s possible to provide new methods for obtaining spinels or other mixed oxides with a higher processability and versatility than those existing to date, allowing also for obtaining new spinels and removing the need for extremely costly phases in time or energy, including milling or heating at temperatures up to 1200ºC.Universitat de València posted this:
Environmentally friendly colorimetric sensors for detecting hydrogen cyanide (HCN)The main advantages provided by the this colorimetric sensor are: - Detection Limits: The direct reaction between the sensor and the HCN leads to a marked color change with detection limits below 1 ppm. - Selectivity: in the presence of other gases such as CO, HCl, NH3, H2S, at concentrations up to 50 ppm - Environmentally friendly: no heavy metals used. - Reversibility: The reaction is reversible by irradiation with UV light so it can be reused in successive cycles - Minimizing false positives: Regeneration by UV radiation occurs only if the sensor reacted with HCN.
