Electronic Properties of Carbon‐Based Superatomic Structures

Abstract Carbon‐based materials, ranging from traditional allotropes like diamond and graphite to nanostructures such as fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, and graphene, have attracted extensive research attention due to their unique electronic properties and versatile applications. Recently, the concept of superatomic structures, which refers to the assembly of nano units that exhibit collective electronic properties analogous to those of individual atoms, has emerged as an intriguing frontier in carbon research. The exploration of carbon‐based superatomic structures opens up new possibilities for designing materials with tailored electronic properties, potentially leading to the development of next‐generation electronic devices. In this review, the progress on the electronic properties of carbon‐based superatomic structures is briefly summarized, with a focus on the electronic properties of those structures assembled from carbon nanomaterials.

Abstract

Abstract Carbon‐based materials, ranging from traditional allotropes like diamond and graphite to nanostructures such as fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, and graphene, have attracted extensive research attention due to their unique electronic properties and versatile applications. Recently, the concept of superatomic structures, which refers to the assembly of nano units that exhibit collective electronic properties analogous to those of individual atoms, has emerged as an intriguing frontier in carbon research. The exploration of carbon‐based superatomic structures opens up new possibilities for designing materials with tailored electronic properties, potentially leading to the development of next‐generation electronic devices. In this review, the progress on the electronic properties of carbon‐based superatomic structures is briefly summarized, with a focus on the electronic properties of those structures assembled from carbon nanomaterials.
