Nanomaterials occupy very different physical and chemical properties compared with their bulk counterparts due to the large specific surface area and the dimension effect in the nano scale. Through the structure design (doping, morphology, aspect ratio, etc.) and the property tailoring (magnetic, electronic, thermal, photonic, etc.), the functionalized nanomaterials can play a critical role in the property optimization for various applications. In the emerging field of smart applications, including energy storage, smart window, anti-corrosion/anti-fouling smart coating, and advanced electronic packaging, functional nanomaterials have exhibited fascinating effects in the performance promotion.
The problem needs to be addressed for the nanostructured smart materials in electronic and electrochemical applications, is how to achieve the controllable synthesis, scale up the production, reduce the bio-toxicity and improve the thermal/chemical stability. In recent advances, 3D/4D printing, doping, core-shell structure , heterojunction, biomimetic design, patterning and other state of the art techniques have been proposed for addressing the above problem.
Potential themes for this Research Topic include, but are not limited to:
• Design and synthesis of nanomaterials for energy storage
• Controllable synthesis of nanomaterials for anti-corrosion/anti-fouling smart coating
• Property tailoring and optimization of nanomaterials for smart windows
• Scalable synthesis and functionalization of nanomaterials for advanced electronic packaging
