“…These materials display unique physicochemical properties such as catalytic, dielectric, optical and mechanical, giving rise to distinctive applications ranging from biomedical to environmental engineering and high-energy storage (Bhattacharya et al, 2014). A wide range of new functional materials have been produced in this context, including carbon nanotubes (CNTs), graphene, fullerenes, polymeric nanoparticles, metal organic nanomaterials, self-assembled and supramolecular nanostructures, and their derivatives, among others.…”
