Carbon nanomaterials have been extensively used in many applications owing to their unique thermal, electrical and mechanical properties. One of the prime challenges is the production of these nanomaterials on a large scale. This review paper summarizes the synthesis of various carbon nanomaterials via the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method. These carbon nanomaterials include fullerenes, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), carbon nanofibers (CNFs), graphene, carbide-derived carbon (CDC), carbon nano-onion (CNO) and MXenes. Furthermore, current challenges in the synthesis and application of these nanomaterials are highlighted with suggested areas for future research.

“…For instance, a material obtained by directly growing CNTs in a cement matrix had double the compressive strength of the original [39]. Carbon nanotubes allow to producing not only very strong, but at the same time extraordinarily light materials with application fields in the production of wind-turbine blade materials [40,41] and marine turbines [42], in the automotive industry [43], aviation [44] or in sport equipment [9]. Other areas where carbon nanotubes can be used include various electronic applications [9,45].…”

During the relatively short time since the discovery of fullerenes in 1985, carbon nanotubes in 1991, and graphene in 2004, the unique properties of carbon-based nanomaterials have attracted great interest, which has promoted the development of methods for large-scale industrial production. The continuously increasing commercial use of engineered carbon-based nanomaterials includes technical, medical, environmental and agricultural applications. Regardless of the application field, this is also associated with an increasing trend of intentional or unintended release of carbon nanomaterials into the environment, where the effect on living organisms is still difficult to predict. This review describes the different types of carbon-based nanomaterials, major production techniques and important trends for agricultural and environmental applications. The current status of research regarding the impact of carbon nanomaterials on plant growth and development is summarized, also addressing the currently most relevant knowledge gaps.

“…On the other hand, the erosion and fouling of the bottom of the ship in seawater also affects the performance of ships after a period of time. Adoption of nanotechnology in the ship building is proved as a sustainable approach to improve ship performance over a longer period [114,115]. The potential applications of nanotechnology in ships industry are in corrosion resistant coatings, biofouling, and structural health monitoring.…”
