“…Graphene is synthesized via two main synthetic routes. Top-down approaches include mechanical and chemical exfoliation, , unzipping of carbon nanotubes, − and chemical synthesis, , which are typically used to synthesize smaller graphene lattices (nm up to cm length). For bottom-up approaches, CVD − and epitaxial growth − are preferred to synthesize larger graphene lattices (up to several cm in length).…”

Fluorescent carbon nanomaterials have broadly useful chemical and photophysical attributes that are conducive to applications in biology. In this review, we focus on materials whose photophysics allow for the use of these materials in biomedical and environmental applications, with emphasis on imaging, biosensing, and cargo delivery. The review focuses primarily on graphitic carbon nanomaterials including graphene and its derivatives, carbon nanotubes, as well as carbon dots and carbon nanohoops. Recent advances in and future prospects of these fields are discussed at depth, and where appropriate, references to reviews pertaining to older literature are provided.

“…In this context, a composite of graphene oxide shrouding self-assembled fullerene C 70 has recently been reported. [36] The precise slicing of carbon nanotubes to obtain a narrow length distribution with minimized defects except at the tube ends, holds tremendous potential for various applications, such as in solar cell technologies, sensors, [37,38] electronic devices, and biomedical sciences. [39] Several methods have been reported for producing short carbon nanotubes using different physical, [40] electrical, or chemical strategies.…”

Centrifugal and shear forces are produced when solids or liquids rotate. Rotary systems and devices that use these forces, such as dynamic thin‐film flow technology, are evolving continuously, improve material structure‐property relationships at the nanoscale, representing a rapidly thriving and expanding field of research high with green chemistry metrics, consolidated at the inception of science. The vortex fluidic device (VFD) provides many advantages over conventional batch processing, with fluidic waves causing high shear and producing large surface areas for micro‐mixing as well as rapid mass and heat transfer, enabling reactions beyond diffusion control. Combining these abilities allows for a green and innovative approach to altering materials for various research and industry applications by controlling small‐scale flows and regulating molecular and macromolecular chemical reactivity, self‐organization phenomena, and the synthesis of novel materials. This review highlights the aptitude of the VFD as clean technology, with an increase in efficiency for a diversity of top‐down, bottom‐up, and novel material transformations which benefit from effective vortex‐based processing to control material structure‐property relationships.
