Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Carbon-based nanomaterials, including carbon/carbon (C/C) nanocomposites, graphene, graphene oxide, carbon nanotubes, fullerenes, graphene quantum dots (GQDs) and carbon dots (CDs,) have attracted much interest as additional materials in aviation, aerospace, biological, medical and photovoltaic devices due to their unique physicochemical properties, such as high conductivity, transparency, nontoxicity and low cost. Carbon fiber-reinforced carbon matrix nanocomposites known as carbon/carbon (C/C) nanocomposites exhibit high specific strength, high thermostability, high specific stiffness, high electrical conductivity, high thermal conductivity, low density, low CTE, low neutron absorption cross section and strong neutron scattering cross section, excellent fracture toughness and high friction/wear resistance, which have also led to research and development in the next generation of advanced nuclear power systems.

The present Special Issue on “Carbon-Based Nanocomposites: From Synthesis to Advanced Characterization Techniques and Applications” may become status reports summarizing the progress achieved in the last ten years for Carbon-based nanocomposites. This Special Issue not only provides important synthesis experimental and theoretical support for the industrialization of carbon-based materials and promotes the realization of device applications, but also promotes the development and application of nanomaterials in multi-dimensional and multiscale, including advanced characterization techniques, such as in situ TEM and in situ synchrotron irradiation methods.

Heavy metal pollution in river and lake sediments seriously damages river ecological safety and indirectly affects human health. The existing research mainly focuses on how to adsorb pollutants and repair sediment, and how the reuse of these pollutants may be a new technology to control sediment pollutants. The rapid development of perovskite solar cells in recent years has attracted a lot of attention, among which lead (Pb) halide perovskites have very excellent photoelectric performance. In this study, we propose a novel idea of introducing indium (In)-based perovskite to replace Pb (II) ions dispersed in river and lake sediment. Three sediment samples from a river in Shanghai Peace Park were collected to analyze the distribution of heavy metal Pb. We mixed the digestion solution of sediment with the prepared CH3NH3(MA)InICl2 solution and found that indium (In) in perovskite precursor solution would be gradually replaced by Pb in sediments. An in situ synchrotron radiation XRD experiment was performed to reveal the reaction mechanism of solutions and provide a good research platform for the comprehensive reuse of sediment in the future. This study provides a new method of remediation of heavy metal pollution in river and lake sediments. Full article

Organic–inorganic lead halide perovskite is widely used in the photoelectric field due to its excellent photoelectric characteristics. Among them, perovskite single crystals have attracted much attention due to its lower trap density and better carrier transport capacity than their corresponding polycrystalline materials. Owing to these characteristics, perovskite single crystals have been widely used in solar cells, photodetectors, light-emitting diode (LED), and so on, which have greater potential than polycrystals in a series of optoelectronic applications. However, the fabrication of single-crystal devices is limited by size, thickness, and interface problems, which makes the development of single-crystal devices inferior to polycrystalline devices, which also limits their future development. Here, several representative optoelectronic applications of perovskite single crystals are introduced, and some existing problems and challenges are discussed. Finally, we outlook the growth mechanism of single crystals and further the prospects of perovskite single crystals in the further field of microelectronics. Full article
