Abstract

Carbon nanomaterials (CNMs) are rapidly emerging in materials science research due to their widespread environmental applications. They are useful for environmental pollutants’ remediation through various methods. Heteroatom doping resulted in reliable approaches to overcome pristine CNMs challenges. The engineering of the dopants is believed to be a promising route to improve the efficiency of CNMs in environmental remediation. The idea of doping has been attractive since it allows the control of electronic properties due to the electron transfer between dopants and the host material and the dopants along with the bonding between analogous atoms and carbon atoms. This mini-review, through computational and experimental studies, puts special emphasis on the role of doping different CNMs as an efficient approach to enhance the environmental remediation.
