Abstract

The present review offers readers with an update over current and novel developments of carbon nano onions (CNOs) in recent years. Here we concisely detailed out the synthesis routes, growth mechanism in different synthetic routes, purification methods, chemical, electronic, optical, electro-magnetic and tribological properties, applications in energy storage sectors especially in the field of ion batteries and supercapacitors, polymeric composites of carbon nano onion, publication, patent-research trends data (1980–2020) and a brief market analysis respectively.
