Abstract
Nanomaterials have much improved properties compared to their bulk counterparts, which promotes them as ideal material for applications in various industries. Among the various nanomaterials, different nanoallotropes of carbon, namely fullerene, carbon nanotubes, and graphene, are the most important as indicated by the fact that their discoverers gained prestigious awards such as Nobel Prize or Kavli Prize. Carbon forms different nano-allotropes by varying the nature of orbital hybridization. Since all nanoallotropes of carbon possess exotic physical and chemical properties, they are extensively used in different applications, especially in the electronic industry.
