¼ÕÀ忱 KIST Over the last three decades, carbon (one of the most abundant materials found on earth) and carbon nanomaterials (carbon allotrope forms such as zero-dimensional fullerenes, one-dimensional carbon nanotubes, and two-dimensional graphene) have attracted significant attention due to their unique electronic, thermal, mechanical, and chemical properties. Recent advances in the synthesis and assembly techniques have renewed interest in employing carbon nanomaterials as the basis of electronic applications, and the flexibility and the low cost of these materials provide the opportunity for many applications such as wearable, disposable, and next-generation electronics. Here, I provide the recent progress regarding the synthesis of carbon nanomaterials and provide related applications for functional nanocomposite materials and electronic devices. Especially, this talk mainly affords studies on the chemical functionalization of graphene and the advanced techniques for three dimensional integrated systems from two dimensional van der Waals material heterostructures. |
