Graphene nanoribbons are one-dimensional nanocarbon materials having semiconducting characteristics, which strongly depend on their width and edge structures. They have significant potential to be used in the broad fields of electronics, photonics, and energy harvesting. Bottom-up synthesis is greatly needed because of its ability to precisely control their width and edge structure to tune the bandgap. In this review, recent progress in bottom-up synthetic methods using on-surface and in liquid phase techniques, and their applications for electronic devices are introduced together with future prospects.
