AIMS AND SCOPE
Graphene nanohybrids have become the revolutionary materials in optoelectronic and photocatalytic systems due to their high electrical conductivity, mechanical flexibility, large surface area and tunable chemical characteristics. The increasing need of energy-efficient devices, advanced photodetectors, solar energy conversion systems and environmental remediation technologies highlights the international global nature of the area. Current materials can be characterized by low charge mobility, rapid recombination rate of photogenerated carriers and limited stability in operational conditions. Traditional semiconductor-based solutions cannot be scalable to the performance, multifunctionality and scalability required by next-generation devices. The combination of graphene and metal oxides, transition metal dichalcogenides, perovskites or polymeric systems has been promising in addressing these issues by increasing charge transfer, light absorption and photocatalytic efficiency. Modern developments also take advantage of AI-assisted material design, IoT-enabled devices and blockchain-based supply chain tracking of nanomaterial synthesis, which guarantees reproducibility and secure data management. The developments also enable modified electronic band structures and tuneable optical characteristics, which provide innovative opportunities to high-performance optoelectronic devices.
Graphene and functional nanomaterials have a synergy that enhances stability in extreme operating conditions, which increases the lifetime and reliability of the device. Moreover, a combination of these nanohybrids with adaptive sensing and self-cleaning capabilities opens the prospects of the next-generation smart and sustainable technologies. Such integration enables the efficient heterostructure engineering, predictive analysis of material behaviour and scalable production strategies and resolves technical, operational and ethical issues of resource consumption and environmental effects. Moreover, the development of multifunctional hybrid materials facilitates the use of these materials in smart sensors, wearable electronics, environmental sensors and energy harvesting devices, which is aligned with the industry trends and sustainable technology implementation. The future perspectives are on green synthesis routes, AI-driven predictive performance assessment and multi-scale integration approaches that have the potential to convert laboratory innovations into commercially viable solutions with a minimal ecological footprint.
The special issue seeks to provide researchers, materials scientists, engineers and practitioners a platform to contribute high-quality original works, extensive reviews and perspective pieces. Submissions can consist of experimental research, theoretical modelling, AI-assisted material design, device fabrication, optimization of performance and sustainability. Submissions with a focus on innovative hybrid architectures of graphene, multifunctional device applications, interfaces with IoT systems or emerging photocatalytic and optoelectronic technologies are highly welcome.
