Abstract

Pulsed laser ablation in liquid technique (PLAL) had started getting attention in late 1990, particularly for the production of the nanomaterials due to its easy handling and room-temperature synthesis process. Soon after the initial demonstration of nanomaterials generation from the PLAL technique, PLAL gradually becomes a green, facile and inexpensive method for the generation of ultrapure carbon nanomaterials (CNMs). In the past two decades, different allotropic forms of CNMs have been fabricated by using PLAL techniques such as graphene/graphene oxide nanosheet, carbon nanotubes, graphene oxide quantum dots, nanodiamonds, carbogenic nanoparticles, polyynes and carbon-encapsulated metal-based nanoparticles. In this review article, we offer a comprehensive discussion on the progress achieved in the design and development of the PLAL method for the production of CNMs only (the year 1998–2020). Firstly, we have introduced the different types of PLAL methods widely used for CNMs fabrication. Secondly, the different types of factors affecting the physicochemical (structural, morphological, optical) properties of CNMs and the efficiency of CNMs production from PLAL method have been summarized in detail. The laser parameters and experimental conditions of the PLAL method, that affecting the physicochemical properties and efficiency of CNMs production are laser wavelengths, pulse duration and repetition rate, ablation duration, per-pulse energy density (fluence), PLAL setup design and nature of solvents. The results from different spectroscopic techniques for each kind of CNMs have been discussed thoroughly, to unambiguously differentiate the structural integrity of  the CNMs from one another. Finally, the uses of CNMs for different applications in the present time, existing challenges in the PLAL methods and the future outlook of laser-assisted synthesized CNMs for novel applications were also discussed.
