Symposium Q-Nano Carbon Materials—1D to 3D

Nano carbon (C) materials including 1D nanotubes, 2D graphene and their 3D architectures possess unprecedented characteristic features such as high strength, outstanding electrical and thermal conductivities that cannot be observed or achieved using other materials. They hold great potential for various practical applications, offering interesting prospects toward many novel technologies.

The Nano-Carbon Materials1D to 3D symposium aims to address progresses on structural design, synthesis, functionalization, physical properties and comprehensive applications of 1D, 2D & 3D nano-C. Interdisciplinary topics will include - but are not limited to - functionalized nano-C, nano-C-based devices and large-scale production of C nanotubes, graphene and their 3D derivatives. These and other challenges related to physics, chemistry, materials science and engineering will be addressed by invited talks in order to accelerate the development of nano-C.

Topics will include:

  • Atomic nucleation and growth mechanism of metal and nonmetal catalytic graphitization and low-dimensional carbon nanostructures
  • Recent advances in nano-carbon based composite fabrications and characterization
  • Applications and commercialization
  • Recent advances in graphene exfoliation, growth, and nano-composite fabrication techniques, and cost-effective and scalable methods
  • Characterization of graphene, graphene oxides and graphene nano-composites
  • 3D nano-carbon materials
  • Theoretical studies with experiments with multi-functionalities at multiple scales
  • Hierarchical graphene architectures and assemblies with bio-materials
  • Surface and edge chemistry and functionalization
  • Interfaces and surface structures and substrate effects on electronic properties
  • Nonlinear optics, photonics, plasmonics, and optoelectronics
  • Flexible and stretchable electronics
  • Transport properties and novel electronic devices
  • Energy-storage applications: supercapacitors and batteries
  • Photovoltaic devices and transparent electrodes
  • Thermal and mechanical properties and applications of carbon nanostructures
  • Biological interactions, sensors, imaging, nanomedicine, drug delivery, and toxicity studies
  • Catalytic properties and applications of carbon nanomaterials
