Study of Chemo-Physical, Opto-Electronic, and Mechanic-Electronic Properties of CNT/G Related Materials for Future Devices

Dear Colleagues,

Nanoscale materials based on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and Graphene (G) and their composites possess fascinating physicochemical properties. They are in serious demand due to their wide-scale applications in modern and advanced technological devices, such as electro-optics, photonics, photovoltaics/solar cells, batteries/supercapacitors, nonlinear optics, dielectrics, biomedical/bioengineering, photocatalysis, etc. A vast number of nanoscale materials developed in the past few decades and were used to develop high-performance devices at the nanoscale.

Hence, we have designed a Special Issue on the “Study of Chemo-Physical, Opto-Electronic, and Mechanic-Electronic Properties of CNT/G-Related Materials for future devices,” which is open for researchers and scientists from all around the globe to share their contributions related to various materials, such as nanoparticles/nanosheets/nanostructured films, coatings/gas/biosensing/energies/solar cells/nonlinear optics/biomedical/bioengineering/photocatalysis, etc., based on CNT/G and related materials. This Special Issue covers broad research subjects related to nanoscale materials in general, such as nanocomposites, nanostructured, nanofilms, etc., grown or simulated through basic and newly developed/innovative methods for advanced or revolutionary applications.  

In this Special Issue on the “Study of Chemo-Physical, Opto-Electronic, and Mechanic-Electronic Properties of CNT/G-Related Materials for future devices,” the focus is on the broad area of research for new development in the synthesis/fabrication, simulation, characterization, and applications of nanoscale materials.

Thus, we would like to invite researchers, scientists, and engineers alike who are actively working on CNT/G and related nanoscale materials/nanocomposites to contribute their unpublished results in the form of high-quality original articles/communications/letters and reviews that show recent experimental/computational studies on nanostructured materials based on CNT/G for modern applications.

The current Special Issue will cover topics including but not limited to the subsequent features of the “Study of Chemo-Physical, Opto-Electronic, and Mechanic-Electronic Properties of CNT/G-Related Materials for future devices.”

• Synthesis on nanostructured materials;
• Study of Chemo-Physical, Opto-Electronic, and Mechanic-Electronic Properties;
