About this Research Topic
A hybrid carbon nanostructure typically refers to a material or structure that combines different forms or types of carbon nanomaterials.
A hybrid carbon nanostructure might involve combining two or more of these carbon nanomaterials, or it could involve incorporating other non-carbon materials to create a composite structure. The goal is often to synergize the advantageous properties of different carbon nanomaterials or enhance specific characteristics for various applications. For example, a hybrid carbon nanostructure could involve integrating graphene sheets with carbon nanotubes to benefit from the excellent electrical conductivity of graphene and the mechanical strength of carbon nanotubes. Alternatively, it could involve incorporating carbon nanomaterials with other materials, such as polymers or metals, to create composites with tailored properties.
The goal remains to enhance knowledge and understanding about the hybrid carbon nanomaterials. The synthesis mechanism as well as their ranges of applications. It is well known that knowledge about controlled synthesis mechanism of hybrid carbon nanostructures is limited to the best. However, their potential application may surpass the applicability of pristine carbon nanomaterials. More understanding & focused research is desirable from the physics and material science point of view.
The versatility and unique properties of carbon nanomaterials make hybrid carbon nanostructures promising for a wide range of applications, including electronics, energy storage, sensors, and materials science. Researchers continue to explore and develop novel hybrid carbon nanostructures to unlock new functionalities and improve performance in various technological applications.
We welcome the submission of Original Research, Review, Mini Review, and Perspective articles on themes including:
• Novel hybrid carbon nanomaterials
• Conventional and novel synthesis mechanism of carbon nanomaterials
• Simulation to understand the deposition mechanism of hybrid carbon nanomaterials
• Application of hybrid carbon nanomaterials
• Device fabrication using carbon nanomaterials
• Any other insightful work on carbon nanomaterials
