Article Abstract
The exceptional capabilities of carbon nanomaterials (CNMs) have led to a notable surge in research on various dimensionalities i.e. (0D, 1D, 2D), which hold promise for use in a range of scientific and technological domains. Yet, the scalability for such nanomaterials is constrained by the usage of raw material such as graphite, which is necessary for their synthesis. In this regard, petroleum coke (Pet coke), a byproduct of the coking process in the petrochemical industry with >80 wt% of carbon content, is becoming an appealing and economical choice to produce carbon-based nanostructures. This manuscript outlines current findings concerning the application of Pet coke as a forerunner for carbon nanomaterials, including graphene, nano porous carbon, graphene oxide (GO), reduced graphene oxide (RGO), carbon nanotubes, carbon quantum dots, graphene quantum dots, carbon nano onions. The study emphasizes the efficiency of these nanoarchitectures in targeted multi domain applications. This manuscript further outlines and examines greener and sustainable approaches for converting environmental hazardous waste to low-cost, eco-friendly, materials into cutting-edge scientific advancements that offer increased value, aligning with the UN's 2030 sustainable development goals (SDGs) Agenda.

Carbon dots (CDs) represent a new class of nontoxic and sustainable nanomaterials with increasing applications. Among them, bright and large Stokes-shift CDs are highly desirable for display and imaging, yet the emission mechanisms remain unclear. We obtained structural signatures for the recently engineered green and red CDs by ground-state femtosecond stimulated Raman spectroscopy (FSRS), then synthesized orange CDs with similar size but much higher nitrogen dopants than red CDs.

A sensitive electrochemical glucose biosensor using ZrO₂@CNTs nanocomposite was developed for real-time metabolism monitoring for athletes. The nanocomposite was prepared by a simple ultrasound-assisted technique, and the glucose oxidase (GOx) was covalently immobilized to improve the biorecognition ability. CNTs treated with acid served as a highly conductive framework, and ZrO₂ nanoparticles can provide structural stability and catalytic performance, thus showing synergistic enhancement of electron transfer kinetics and enzyme loading capacity.
