Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

As a two-dimensional nanomaterial, graphene has always attracted people's attention. In recent years, research on graphene, including preparation technology, modification technology and applications, has made good progress. It has excellent electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and ultra-large specific surface properties. It has good application potential in various fields such as conductivity, antistatic, heat dissipation, the environment, and biomedicine. In some industries, it has formed large-scale applications and generated huge commercial value. Graphene material has a special structure, and its performance and application still have significant room for exploration and should be explored more systematically. For this Special Issue, we encourage the submission of various innovative graphene research results, including the sharing and compounding of graphene with other two-dimensional nanomaterials, as well as the relevant research results of various two-dimensional nanomaterials, so as to promote each other with graphene.

This Special Issue will cover basic scientific and engineering aspects, such as novel manufacturing approaches for graphene and other 2D material-based composites and their structural manipulation for a diverse range of applications, involving, but not limited to, pharmaceutical nanotechnology, tissue engineering, energy storage, water treatment, catalysis, 5G communications, and optoelectronics. We would like to invite you to submit a manuscript to this Special Issue. Short communications, full papers, and reviews related to graphene-based composites are all welcome.

It is of great significance to develop carbon quantum dots (CQDs) using green carbon sources, which are cheap, non-toxic and harmless, and further expand their application scopes, e.g., fluorescence sensors, blue light screening. In this study, we have prepared Peperomia tetraphylla-based carbon quantum dots (PT-CQDs) with strong water solubility, good salt resistance, specific quenching reactions and excellent optical properties via a simple one-step hydrothermal method. In one application, PT-CQDs are utilized as a fluorescence sensor due to their high selectivity and sensitivity to ferric ions (Fe3+). The limit of detection (LOD) was 2.7 μmol·L−1. On the other hand, PT-CQDs/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) films with excellent ultraviolet- (UV) and high-energy blue light (HEBL)-blocking properties were obtained. The obtained films exhibited a high blue light weight blocking rate of 100% in UV and 80% in HEBL. The concentrations of the composites could also be controlled to achieve the desired light-blocking rate. In addition, the composites were able to absorb blue light and convert it to other forms of light. These properties suggest their potential applications in the development of advanced blue light screening and fluorescence sensors. Full article

With the growing demand for wind energy, the development of advanced materials for wind turbine support structures and blades has garnered significant attention in both industry and academia. In previous research, the authors investigated the incorporation of graphene platelets (GPLs) into wind turbine blades, focusing on the structural performance and cost-effectiveness relative to conventional fiberglass composites. These studies successfully demonstrated the potential advantages of GPL reinforcement in improving blade performance and reducing the blade’s weight and costs. Building upon prior work, the present study conducts a detailed investigation into the static bending behavior of GPL-reinforced wind turbine blades, specifically examining the impact of crack location and length. A finite element model of the SNL 61.5 m wind turbine blade was rigorously developed and validated through comparison with the existing literature to ensure its accuracy. Comprehensive parametric analyses were performed to assess deflection under various crack lengths and positions, considering both flapwise and edgewise bending deformations. The findings indicate that GPL-reinforced blades exhibit reduced sensitivity to crack propagation compared to traditional fiberglass blades. Furthermore, the paper presents a thorough parametric analysis of the effects of crack location and length on blade performance. Full article
