Over the past three decades, there has been considerable scientific interest in carbon nanomaterials, namely fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, and graphene, respectively. These materials have captivated researchers due to their exceptional electronic, optical, mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties. While early studies demonstrated the potential of these properties in specific applications, challenges related to structural inconsistencies and imprecise assembly have hindered their widespread use in various technologies.
However, recent advancements in synthesis, sorting, and assembly techniques have reignited the enthusiasm for carbon nanomaterials, offering the potential for scalable technologies.
In light of the growing demand for high-speed electronics and renewable energy, I am pleased to present this special issue, which aims to encourage researchers in developing and assembling new categories of nanomaterials and its organic-inorganic composite materials for unconventional device applications.
The goal of the "Carbon Nanomaterials in Electronic and Optoelectronic Devices" special issue is to showcase and explore the latest advancements, challenges, and future prospects in the field of carbon nanomaterials for electronic and optoelectronic applications.
This special issue aims to bring together high-quality original research that focuses on the synthesis, characterization, and utilization of carbon nanomaterials in enhancing the performance of various electronic and optoelectronic devices. The goal is to provide a platform for researchers to share their findings on the applications of carbon nanotubes, graphene, carbon dots, and carbon-based nanocomposites in devices such as transistors, FETs, solar cells, photodiodes, sensors, interconnects, energy storage devices, light-emitting diodes, photodetectors, and flexible devices.
Additionally, the special issue aims to address the challenges associated with integrating carbon nanomaterials into devices and encourage theoretical modelling and simulation studies that contribute to a deeper understanding of the behaviour and performance of carbon nanomaterials in device applications.
By achieving these goals, the special issue aims to advance the field and promote the development of innovative and scalable carbon nanomaterial-based technologies.
