“…Among the main perspectives, one can secure that the future of carbon nanomaterials will roam through the pursuit of new technologies, applications, and also the assurance of safe handling and in vivo safety, based on current research [ 136 ]. Recently, discussions concerning CNT safety and pressure for restricted usage have been presented, including the addition to the Substitute It Now (SIN) List by ChemSec, in a decision taken after reports indicating potential carcinogenicity, reproductive deleterious effects, and additional long-term health damage in in vitro and mice studies [ 137 ].…”

Since the last decade, carbon nanomaterials have had a notable impact on different fields such as bioimaging, drug delivery, artificial tissue engineering, and biosensors. This is due to their good compatibility toward a wide range of chemical to biological molecules, low toxicity, and tunable properties. Especially for biosensor technology, the characteristic features of each dimensionality of carbon-based materials may influence the performance and viability of their use. Surface area, porous network, hybridization, functionalization, synthesis route, the combination of dimensionalities, purity levels, and the mechanisms underlying carbon nanomaterial interactions influence their applications in bioanalytical chemistry. Efforts are being made to fully understand how nanomaterials can influence biological interactions, to develop commercially viable biosensors, and to gain knowledge on the biomolecular processes associated with carbon. Here, we present a comprehensive review highlighting the characteristic features of the dimensionality of carbon-based materials in biosensing.

“…The rapid development of wearable electronics, the smart grid, an intelligent society, and deep-sea and deep-space exploration has produced an increasing need for advanced fiber materials. − Carbon nanotube fibers (CNTFs) are a very competitive candidate which are expected to find a wide range of applications including aerospace, railway, and automotive engineering, due to their low-density, high thermal and electrical conductivities, resistance to corrosion and erosion, and excellent mechanical performance. − However, the practical use of CNTFs has been severely restricted due to a major difficulty in joining CNTFs to metals. Especially, joining CNTFs to copper is an immediate problem because of the universal use of Cu as conducting components in electronic and electrical systems.…”

Lightweight carbon nanotube fibers (CNTFs) with high electrical conductivity and high tensile strength are considered to be an ideal wiring medium for a wide range of applications. However, connecting CNTFs with metals by soldering is extremely difficult due to the nonreactive nature and poor wettability of CNTs. Here we report a strong connection between single-wall CNTFs (SWCNTFs) and a Cu matrix by introducing an intermediate Ni layer, which enables the formation of mechanically strong and electrically conductive joints between SWCNTFs and a eutectic Sn-37Pb alloy. The electrical resistance change rate (ΔR/R 0 ) of Ni-SWCNTF/solder-Cu interconnects only decreases ∼29.8% after 450 thermal shock cycles between temperatures of −196 and 150 °C, which is 8.2 times lower than that without the Ni layer. First-principles calculations indicate that the introduction of the Ni layer significantly improves the heterogeneous interfacial bond strength of the Ni-SWCNTF/solder-Cu connections.

“…One prominent example is the fullerene (C 60 ) cluster. By subjecting the precursor of fullerene (C 60 ) to high-temperature and high-pressure treatment, a unique high-density disordered sp 3 bonding structure called paracrystalline diamond can be obtained [58]. The layered structure of C 60 can be polymerized under extremely high pressure through the formation of cluster covalent bonds.…”

Carbon allotropes have vast potential in various applications, including superconductivity, energy storage, catalysis, and photoelectric semiconductor devices. Recently, there has been significant research interest in exploring new carbon materials that exhibit unique electronic structures. Here, we propose a novel two-dimensional (2D) carbon allotrope called TCH-SSH-2D, which possesses a Dirac node-line (DNL) semimetallic state. The structure of TCH-SSH-2D is derived from the TCH-type Archimedean polyhedral carbon cluster units, combined with the SSH lattice model, possessing a space group of tetragonal P4/mmm. Using first-principles calculations, we demonstrate that the system is dynamically, thermodynamically, and mechanically stable. It exhibits an energetically favorable structure with no imaginary frequency in the phonon dispersion curves and elastic constants satisfying the Born-Huang stability criterion. Our findings not only contribute to a deeper understanding of the carbon allotrope family but also provide an opportunity to explore unique Dirac states in two-dimensional pure carbon systems.
