Synthesis and Characterization of Various Nanomaterials Based on Graphene Derivatives

Dear Colleagues,

Graphene, a two-dimensional material composed of a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice, has garnered immense attention in recent years due to its exceptional properties. However, the pristine form of graphene exhibits limitations in certain applications, necessitating the exploration of graphene derivatives. These derivatives, modified versions of graphene with tailored properties, offer enhanced functionality and versatility, paving the way for innovative applications across various fields. The synthesis of graphene derivatives involves the functionalization, doping, or hybridization of graphene with other materials to impart the desired properties. The applications of graphene derivatives span a wide range of sectors, including electronics, energy storage, catalysts, and environmental remediation.

This Special Issue aims to explore the latest advancements in the synthesis, characterization, and applications of graphene derivatives. Contributions covering topics such as novel synthesis methods, fundamental insights into their properties, and innovative applications in emerging fields are welcome. By bringing together researchers from academia, industry, and government laboratories, this Special Issue seeks to foster interdisciplinary collaboration and accelerate the development of graphene derivatives for addressing global challenges and driving technological innovation.

Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Novel synthesis approaches for graphene derivatives;
• Functionalization and doping strategies to tailor graphene properties;
• Characterization techniques for assessing graphene derivative properties;
• Advanced applications of graphene derivatives in organic chemistry, catalysts, electronics, energy, biomedicine, and environmental computational modelling and theoretical studies of graphene derivative behaviour;
• Challenges and opportunities for scaling up the production of graphene derivatives for commercialization;
• Environmental, health, and safety considerations of graphene derivative use.

We invite researchers to submit original research articles, reviews, and perspectives that contribute to advancing the field of graphene derivatives. Together, let us unravel the full potential of graphene derivatives and harness their transformative impact on science, technology, and society.
