Nanocarbons II: from synthesis to advanced applications

Nanocarbons family features outstanding and complementary properties, leading to their widely expanded studies on the design, synthesis, characterization, and applications in both scientific and practical fields of chemistry, physics, biomedicine, catalysis, engineering, energy, environment, electronics, sensing and quantum technology.

Scope:

Following the first successful symposium in 2024 EMRS Spring meeting, this second symposium will continuously provide the cutting edge about various strategies to synthesize or grow nanocarbon films and nanostructures (e.g., conductive diamond, diamond-like carbon (DLC), graphene, graphyne, fullerenes, CNTs, diamond/carbon/graphene nanoparticles/dots, carbon foam, diamond nanowires, porous diamond, carbon nanofibers), of which special focus on tunning their size, shape, structures, doping, and defects (e.g., color centers). Another focus is advanced experimental and theoretical characterization tools used for nanocarbons, especially advanced synchrotron-based and in operando techniques as well as machine learning assisted methods. The symposium will also cover various applications of nanocarbons in the fields of chemistry, physics, biomedicine, catalysis, engineering, energy, environment, electronics, sensing and quantum technology. The latest advances in ongoing applications of nanocarbons such as biomedicine (e.g., bioimage, biosensing, drug delivery), energy storage and conversion (e.g., batteries and supercapacitors), catalysis  reactions (e.g., hydrogen evolution reaction, oxygen reduction reaction, CO2 reduction reactions, nitrate reduction reactions), pollutant degradation, quantum technologies, devices and systems (e.g., electrode arrays, energy devices, mechanical devices, etc.), to name just a few will be highlighted in this symposium.

Hot topics to be covered by the symposium:

  • Synthesis of nanocarbons and related 2D materials
  • AI-assisted synthesis
  • Advanced characterization tools like synchrotron-based techniques
  • Operando experiments
  • Defects in nanocarbons
  • Modelling of nanocarbon synthesis and properties
  • Biomedical imaging and drug delivery using nanocarbons
  • Electrochemical and biochemical sensing interfaces
  • Catalysis
  • Energy storage and conversion
  • Quantum sensors based on color centers in nanodiamonds
  • Devices
