“…[ 27 ] Defect evaluation is important since a compromise between defect concentration and electrical conductivity is essential for applications in sensing and photocatalysis, as we recently found for the case of functionalized graphene‐based devices. [ 7 ] We know that without metal catalysts, laser treatment of a polyimide film can induce the formation of graphene‐like multi porous structures due to high temperature and pressure achieved during irradiation. [ 28 ] Molecular dynamic calculations show the evolution of carbon rings in polyimide from 6 member rings to 5 and 7 carbon atoms’ radicals when the system reaches ≈2100 K. For a higher temperature and longtime process 5 and 7 carbon rings get converted to a 6 member ring with a honeycomb structure, by breaking bonds with O and H atoms that end up released as gases.…”

“…These methods are expensive, difficult to operate, and require the use of preformed masks. On the other hand, laser‐driven approaches for the fabrication of flexible electronics are gaining momentum in recent years, [ 7 ] mainly because of the scalability and the advantage of the mask‐less formation of arbitrary patterns [ 8 ] while providing better spatial resolution than liquid processing approaches such as inkjet printing. [ 9,10 ] These laser‐based approaches include the synthesis of conductive silver patterns on polyimide [ 11 ] and polyurethane, [ 12 ] crystallization of BiVO 4 films, [ 13 ] carbonization of organic particle films on PET, [ 14 ] and metallization of a Cu‐containing polymer, [ 15 ] and photothermal annealing of indium zinc oxide on different polymers.…”

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is the most widely used polymer in the world. For the first time, the laser‐driven integration of aluminum nanoparticles (Al NPs) into PET to realize a laser‐induced graphene/Al NPs/polymer composite, which demonstrates excellent toughness and high electrical conductivity with the formation of aluminum carbide into the polymer is shown. The conductive structures show an impressive mechanical resistance against >10000 bending cycles, projectile impact, hammering, abrasion, and structural and chemical stability when in contact with different solvents (ethanol, water, and aqueous electrolytes). Devices including thermal heaters, carbon electrodes for energy storage, electrochemical and bending sensors show this technology's practical application for ultra‐robust polymer electronics. This laser‐based technology can be extended to integrating other nanomaterials and create hybrid graphene‐based structures with excellent properties in a wide range of flexible electronics’ applications.

Nanomaterials are known to exhibit a number of interesting physical and chemical properties for various applications, including energy conversion and storage, nanoscale electronics, sensors and actuators, photonics devices and even for biomedical purposes. In the past decade, laser as a synthetic technique and laser as a microfabrication technique facilitated nanomaterial preparation and nanostructure construction, including the laser processing-induced carbon and non-carbon nanomaterials, hierarchical structure construction, patterning, heteroatom doping, sputtering etching, and so on. The laser-induced nanomaterials and nanostructures have extended broad applications in electronic devices, such as light–thermal conversion, batteries, supercapacitors, sensor devices, actuators and electrocatalytic electrodes. Here, the recent developments in the laser synthesis of carbon-based and non-carbon-based nanomaterials are comprehensively summarized. An extensive overview on laser-enabled electronic devices for various applications is depicted. With the rapid progress made in the research on nanomaterial preparation through laser synthesis and laser microfabrication technologies, laser synthesis and microfabrication toward energy conversion and storage will undergo fast development.

“…Graphene can be functionalized by different treatments and sites with different functional groups to improve solubility and reactivity (such as reactions with MMC) and can lead to significant changes in related physicochemical properties. [ 61–67 ] For example, Zhong et al. [ 68 ] synthesized a pyridine‐ligand‐functionalized graphene that reacted with iron phthalocyanine (FePc) to form a hybrid material ( Figure 3 a).…”

Owing to their zero pollution and high efficiency, fuel cells and metal–air batteries show great potential for broad application to sustainable energy technologies. However, the use of expensive and scarce Pt‐based materials as cathode catalysts to overcome the slow kinetics of oxygen‐reduction reaction (ORR) limits the scalability of such devices. Recently, considerable progress has been made in the development of nonprecious‐metal ORR catalysts. Although metal macrocyclic complexes (MMC) exhibiting a well‐defined M‐N4 (M = Fe, Co, Mn, Cu, etc.) structure (which can provide open sites to combine with oxygen and catalyze ORR) have attracted widespread attention, the MMC ORR performance is usually unsatisfactory because MCCs exhibit poor conductivity, symmetric electron distribution, inferior O2 adsorption, and low activation. However, MMC‐modified conductive‐carbon materials effectively solve such problems and simultaneously boost the ORR catalytic activity. In this review, the recent achievements in MMC‐functionalized carbon materials as ORR catalysts are summarized, and the current challenges and prospects of MMC‐functionalized carbon‐based ORR catalysts are discussed based on recent experimental and theoretical studies.
