The wide applicability of 2D materials have resulted in great achievements in many fields of science over the last 15 years, including energy production and storage, optoelectronics, environmental and biomedical applications and so on. [1] However, a deeper investigation on their exceptional properties and the capability for solution processing, as well as the development and exploitation of emerging nanomaterials could further increase the performance of well-established applications. [2,3] Motivated by this, some contributions in the field of nanotechnology based on graphene and beyond materials will be presented. Finally, challenges to be addressed, outline research directions and future perspectives will be discussed.
