Journal Article
Ferrari, A., Rowley-Neale, S., & Banks, C. (2020). Recent advances in 2D hexagonal boron nitride (2D-hBN) applied as the basis of electrochemical sensing platforms. Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, 413, 663-672. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00216-020-03068-8

2D hexagonal boron nitride (2D-hBN) is a lesser utilised material than other 2D counterparts in electrochemistry due to initial reports of it being non-conductive. As we will demonstrate in this review, this common misconception is being challenged,...

Imaging the Reactivity and Width of Graphene’s Boundary Region (2020)
Journal Article
Al Salem, H., Al-Goul, S., Ferrari, A., Brownson, D., Velarde, L., & Koehler, S. (2020). Imaging the Reactivity and Width of Graphene’s Boundary Region. Chemical Communications, 67, https://doi.org/10.1039/D0CC02675A

The reactivity of graphene at its boundary region has been imaged using non-linear spectroscopy to address the controversy whether the terraces of graphene or its edges are more reactive. Graphene was functionalised with phenyl groups, and we subsequ... Read More about Imaging the Reactivity and Width of Graphene’s Boundary Region.
