Preface

Carbon-based materials ranging from activated carbons and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) to graphene have attracted tremendous attention because of their diversified nanostructures and desirable physical and chemical properties. The study of CNTs started early in 1991, and since then the research in this exciting field has been in continuous evolution. More recently, the two-dimensional crystalline allotrope of carbon, called graphene, has brought a new insight into carbon nanomaterials. However,
