Carbon Nanohybrids for Advanced Electronic Applications

Abstract

Recently, carbon nanohybrids based on carbon nanomaterials including fullerene, carbon nanotube (CNT), carbon nanofiber (CNF), and graphene have attracted considerable attention in the field of science and technology due to their unique electrical, mechanical, chemical, spectroscopic properties, and high porosities. These nanohybrids not only increase electrical conductivity, but also enhance surface areas, thereby overcoming the limitations of individual carbon nanomaterial for material science and electronic engineering. Herein, the electronic and materials properties of carbon nanohybrids consisting of CNT/graphene, CNT/fullerene, CNT/CNF, and graphene/fullerene for advanced electronic applications are discussed.

Electrochemiluminescence Biosensors Using Screen-Printed Electrodes

“…In recent years, a huge boost has been observed in areas such as nanotechnology and nanoscience, being important the advances obtained in biomedicine [ 122 ], energy [ 123 ], catalysis [ 124 ] and electronic [ 125 ]. To a large extent, it has been due to the development and incorporation of new nanomaterials.…”

Propene-bridged cyanurate tetramers decorated on carbon nanosheets with antibacterial activity: insights from molecular modeling and in vitro studies

“…10 Carbon nanomaterials, including carbon nanotubes (CNTs), carbon nanofibers (CNFs), carbon nanohybrids, and graphene oxides (GOs), have been utilized in a variety of applications owing to their unique physical and chemical properties such as large surface area, high electrical conductivity, and tunable optical and mechanical properties. [11][12][13][14][15][16] The efficacy of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in preventing microbial growth, however, depends on their concentration and the duration of therapy. Due to significant van der Waals interactions between nanotubes, raw CNTs are practically insoluble in any solvent.…”

Rhombohedral type of LaCoO3 with carbon nanofiber composite as an electrocatalyst enables the amperometry detection of vanillin in food samples

“…Carbon materials, including fullerene, carbon nanotubes, carbon nanofiber, activated carbon, and graphene, have remarkable catalytic activity, particularly in electrochemical sensing. 26 CNF is highly considered for many electrochemical uses owing to its high strength, low density, and high metallic conductivity. CNF has a higher surface area to volume ratio and higher electron transport than CNT because of the existence of graphene sheet stacking and more edge plane defects on its outer wall.…”
