摘要

碳材料是一类神奇的材料，碳原子可以通过sp、sp

或sp

杂化构筑不同微观结构的碳材料。目前，已经发现的碳的同素异形体有石墨、金刚石、富勒烯、碳纳米管、碳纳米环、石墨烯和石墨炔。富勒烯和石墨烯因性质独特、应用前景广阔，其发现者分别获得1996年和2010年诺贝尔奖。碳纳米环具有独特的环状结构、优异的机械强度及特殊的物理化学性能，也引起广泛关注。研究者从早期对碳纳米环进行理论计算、预测其性质，到现在已能够通过化学气相沉积、激光辐射、超声诱导自组装等方法制备不同尺寸的碳纳米环，并对其性质和应用进行探索。总结了近30年来有关碳纳米环的生长机理、可控合成、性质和应用等方面的研究进展，对其规模化合成与应用提出了建议与展望。

Abstract

Carbon materials are a class of magical materials. Carbon atoms can be hybridized by sp

or sp

to construct carbon materials with different microstructures. The allotropes of carbon that have been found so far are graphite

diamond

fullerene

carbon nanotube

carbon nanoring

graphene and graphdiyne. Due to the excellent properties and broad application prospects

the discoverers of fullerene and graphene have been honored by the Nobel Prize in 1996 and 2010

respectively. Since carbon nanorings have special structure

excellent mechanical strength with unique physical and chemistry properties

they have attracted much attention. Initially people have carried out some theoretical calculations to predict the properties of carbon nanorings

Up to now

carbon nanorings with different sizes have been successfully prepared through chemical vapor deposition

laser irradiation

ultrasonic self-assembly

etc

and their properties and applications have also been explored. This paper summarizes the growth mechanism

controllable synthesis

properties and applications of carbon nanorings for nearly 30 years. Furthermore

suggestions and prospects for the large-scale synthesis and application of carbon nanorings are presented.
