What Are Low-Carbon Nanomaterials?
Low-dimensional allotropes of carbon or low-carbon nanomaterials consist mainly or solely of carbon, possess extraordinary physical properties and can be zero-dimensional (0D) like carbon nanodots, one-dimensional (1D) like carbon nanotubes and, two-dimensional (2D) like graphene nanosheets.3
For instance, graphene, a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a two-dimensional hexagonal lattice, is a low-carbon nanomaterial gaining significant attention due to its remarkable electrical conductivity, mechanical strength, and thermal properties. Similarly, another low-carbon nanomaterial is carbon nanotubes (CNTs), which are cylindrical structures composed of carbon atoms arranged in hexagonal patterns.
