Research & Development in Material Science Carbon Nanomaterials: Opening a Path to a Sustainable Future Jianbo Zhang* Department of Chemical Engineering, Northwest University, China *Corresponding author: Jianbo Zhang, Department of Chemical Engineering, Shaanxi Research Center of Engineering Technology for Clean Coal Conversion, School of Chemical Engineering, Northwest University, China Submission: August 27, 2017; Published: September 08, 2017 DOI: 10.31031/RDMS.2017.01.000502 ISSN : 2576-8840Volume1 Issue1
Highlights
Certainly carbon nanomaterials can be engineered with a wide range of properties and in a variety of forms that make them important materials for current and emerging energy and environmental technologies
As to the importance and potential of carbon nanomaterials, it can be recognized by some famous awards in recent decades including the 1996 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, the 2008 Kavli Prize in Nanoscience, and the 2010 Nobel Prize in Physics
Catalysis will play a vital role because there are many potential advantages by using carbon nanomaterials as catalyst supports or catalysts in comparison to other materials, shown as follows [3]: a
Summary
Certainly carbon nanomaterials can be engineered with a wide range of properties and in a variety of forms (such as zero-dimensional fullerene, one-dimensional carbon nanotubes, two-dimensional graphene, and three-dimensional graphite or diamond) that make them important materials for current and emerging energy and environmental technologies. Catalysis will play a vital role because there are many potential advantages by using carbon nanomaterials as catalyst supports or catalysts in comparison to other materials (e.g., metal oxides), shown as follows [3]: a.
