Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Research on carbon-based nanomaterials, including carbon nanotubes, graphene and its derivatives, nano-diamonds, fullerenes, and other nano-sized carbon allotropes, has seen remarkable growth in recent years. The ability to modify and tailor these materials at the nanoscale—approaching the size of fundamental biomolecules—opens up a world of possibilities. With their large specific surface area, excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, unique optical properties, and superior mechanical strength, carbon-based nanomaterials have become essential in various advanced applications.

This Special Issue is dedicated to showcasing original research and review articles on the latest developments in carbon-based nanomaterials. We aim to explore new processing techniques, innovative testing methods, and cutting-edge applications. Contributions highlighting novel surface modifications that tailor the physicochemical properties of these nanomaterials are particularly welcome.

We encourage submissions focusing on a broad range of applications, including but not limited to the following:

  • Electronics: Graphene in flexible electronics, carbon nanotubes in molecular recognition, etc.
  • Energy Storage and Conversion: Fullerene derivatives in solar energy scavenging, graphene-based materials in supercapacitors, etc.
  • Biomedicine: Carbon or graphene quantum dots in bioimaging and sensing, nano-diamonds in super-resolution imaging and nanoscale temperature sensing, etc.
  • Sensing and Diagnostics: Advanced carbon-based sensors for environmental monitoring, medical diagnostics, etc.

This Special Issue seeks to become a key reference for the scientific community working on both the fundamental research and applied innovations of carbon nanomaterials. By bringing together contributions from leading experts in the field, we hope to reflect the diversity of carbon nanomaterials and the wide range of strategies being developed to enhance their performance across different domains.

Submit your original work and join us in advancing the frontier of carbon-based nanomaterial research!

Background: Voltammetric analysis of the neurotransmitter epinephrine (EP) was performed using bismuth immobilized on a carbon nanotube paste electrode (BCE), whose properties were compared with those of a carbon nanotube paste electrode (CE). BCE was found to be more efficient in detecting EP. Methods: The analytical parameters used were 0.3 V square-wave (SW) stripping voltammetric amplitude, 400 Hz frequency, −0.8 V initial potential, and 0.015 V increment potential. The optimized conditions were applied to an assay of a carp’s front fin. Results: A BCE was inserted into a carp’s front fin muscle, and a stimulus was given every 50 s. This circuit is easy to use and does not require much analytical preparation time. Conclusions: The working electrode is miniscule, and its detection limit is very low. The in vivo muscle’s chronoamperometric nerve currents were analyzed. These results have potential for applications in medical diagnostics, pharmaceuticals, interface controllers, and other fields.

As the traditional silicon-based CMOS technology advances into the nanoscale stage, approaching its physical limits, the Carbon Nanotube Field-effect Transistor (CNTFET) is considered to be the most significant transistor technology beyond Moore’s era. The CNTFET has a quasi-one-dimensional structure so that the carrier can realize ballistic transport and has very high mobility. At the same time, a single CNTFET can integrate hundreds of nanowires as the conductive channels, enabling significant current transport capabilities even in low supply voltage, thereby providing a foundational basis for achieving nanoscale ultra-large-scale analog/logic circuits. This paper summarizes the development status of the CNTFET compact model and digital/analog/RF integrated circuits. The challenges faced by SPICE modeling and circuit design are analyzed. Meanwhile, solutions to these challenges and development trends of carbon-based transistors are discussed. Finally, the future application prospects of carbon-based integrated circuits are presented.
