Abstract

Abstract: Carbon-related materials are now widely investigated in a various industrial field due to their excellent and unique qualities. It must be tailored to the application in such a way that it fits the application. At the same time, it needs to be generated in sufficient quantities for commercial use, and the synthesis method is the major sticking point here. Because most new materials are discovered by chance, the synthesis process described here may not be the most effective way to create them. The research is merely a steppingstone to discovering a different approach, and it will continue until the substance is no longer being used. If you're developing materials for any purpose, synthesis processes are essential. Fullerene, carbon nanotubes (CNT), graphene, and MXene are only a few of the carbon-based compounds discussed in this overview study, which also gives a brief prognosis on the materials future. Furthermore, the environmental application of these carbon materials was discussed and commented. Graphical abstract: Image 1 Highlights: Development of carbon-based materials and its environmental applications have been discussed in this review. Carbon materials prepared from various precursors are different in physicochemical properties. Pyrolysis to obtain precursor is more fit to prepare various carbon materials for environmental remediation. These results contribute to the improvement of the removal and adsorption performance by carbon materials.
