Abstract

Nanomaterials (NMs) (particles with a size between 1 and 100 nm) are the fundamental units of nanostructured materials. When materials grow to be in the nanoscale range owing to quantum entrapment, both their chemical and physical characteristics are significantly altered. Owing to advancements in efficiency and the shrinking of equipment, there is a nanotechnology boom using these NMs, and NM need in the marketplace has surged. Although NMs provide many benefits, they also have certain drawbacks. Agglomeration, interaction with substrate and reaction media, and poor solubility in many solvents are a few of the drawbacks. The constraints can be reduced by surface functionalizing NMs with the appropriate functional groups. Comparatively speaking, functionalized NMs (FNMs) exhibit superior mechanical, chemical, and physical characteristics.

The creation of novel FNMs with potential uses in the optoelectronic fields has recently attracted a lot of attention. The opportunity for many cutting-edge devices to be revolutionized by FNMs is exceptional. The study of FNMs’ manufacture, characterization, and applications, however, is still in its infancy. Information regarding this great material is required. Major characteristics including the kind of FNMs, the fabrication processes, the applications, the tasks, the advantages and limitations, and the marketable characteristics are explored in depth.

This book chapter will be helpful for those studying, seeking information, and employed in the fields of FNMs because it gives a clear understanding of the numerous uses of these FNMs in the field of electronic and optoelectronic devices.

1.1 Introduction

Nanomaterials (NMs) or particles with a size between 1 and 100 nm are the fundamental units of materials engineering. When materials grow to be in the nanometer scale as a result of quantum confinement, both their physical and chemical characteristics are significantly altered. Due to enhanced efficiency and the miniaturization of equipment, there is a nanotechnology breakthrough using these NMs, and their popularity in the marketplace has expanded. Even though NMs have several benefits, they additionally come with certain drawbacks. Assemblage, interaction with material and interaction surfaces, and poor solubility in several solvents are a few of the restrictions. The restrictions could be reduced by surface functionalizing NMs with the appropriate functional communities [1–4].

Comparatively speaking, functionalized NMs (FNMs) exhibit superior mechanical, chemical, and physical characteristics. Due to their distinctive topography, nanostructure components have awhile back become an increasing focus to be utilized in photocatalysis, bioprobes, nanosensors, nanopatterning, and nanofabrication and in an optoelectronics like solar cells, laser diodes, light-emitting diodes (LEDs), and photodetectors due to the particular surface places for preferential molecular bonding [5, 6]. Small-scale NMs can be seamlessly incorporated into a wide variety of scientific portals, delivering exceptional optoelectronic devices with novel chemical and physical characteristics. For their emerging functional technological applications, innovative nanostructures’ electrical as well as optical characteristics must be utilized. Therefore, the possibility for many cutting-edge innovations to be revolutionized by multifunctional NMs is special. The study of their preparation, identification, characteristics, and uses, even so, is still in its beginnings, and also the documentation about this marvelous material is needed further.

Additionally, they are beneficial in a variety of uses, such as optoelectronics, thanks to their distinctive optical, electrical, and mechanical characteristics. Screens, detectors, and information technology are just a few of the innovations that are using optoelectronic devices, which use light to perform or transmit data. NMs may serve as photoactive layer in solar cells and LEDs and display in optoelectronics to increase their efficiency and efficacy [7, 8]. To increase the product’s accountability and conductivity, they may be employed as transparent conductive layers and also be incorporated into sensors to enhance their detection and selection abilities. Graphene, titanium dioxide, and zinc oxide (ZnO) are a few typical NMs used in optoelectronics [9–11].

NM-based technologies like circuits, optoelectronics, quantum optics, and nanophotonics are thought to be the main forces behind research on innovative, valuable product as well as their nanoscale for a variety of uses. It is widely known that research into these materials and structures has, indeed, been crucial for the creation and improvement of both optical and electrical instruments [12–14]. Greater yields are not the only thing that can be anticipated from such gadgets; one can also connect directly to the creation of brand-new ideas, which are urgently needed by today’s information, quantum, or medicinal innovations, as well as optical sensors [15].

This perspective provides an overview of a broad range of topics, including the physics of innovative materials, fabrication techniques, evaluation, and implementations. Innovative resources that may be employed, for example, for power generation or light production in addition to prospective logic circuits; material engineering that can enhance the operation and efficiency of optoelectronics; material physics that can provide understanding into the electrical and optical characteristics of nanostructured frameworks and quantum materials; and developments that discuss advancements on the user end of complex materials.

Among the most productive areas of science and technology right now is nano-optics and nano-optoelectronics [16]. These become crucial to technological advancement and science by fusing photonics and nanotechnology breakthroughs to realize utterly novel optical, electronic, and optoelectronic operations. After enormous efforts, these fields have, indeed, left their beginning and entered a fascinating period in which scientific ideas and relevant theories are strenuously translated into practical gadgets and uses. Furthermore, these technologies have received a lot of attention recently, and the developments show promising future uses in fields such as fiber optics, optical connectivity, optical recollection, detecting and image processing, test equipment, display and illumination, pharmaceutics, safety, and renewable technology [17, 18]. There is more and more study being done in this area.

Additionally, with the growing demands for the incorporation of modern electronics in the areas of aircraft industry, healthcare, electronic components, ecology, and artificial intelligence, the feature size of optoelectronics has already been steadily decreasing in current history. Nevertheless, as feature size is decreased, the variation, quantum influence, short-channel impact, and thermal consequence in optoelectronics would, therefore, cause a decline in system efficiency or even collapse. As a result, conventional superconductors used in silicon-based modern electronics have hit their boundaries. Ongoing expansion will increasingly focus on acquiring the skills to produce useful gadgets that have superior levels of integration and efficiency. The growth of NMs offers fresh perspectives on how to surpass conventional silicon-based electronics [19]. The creation of workable nanostructures premised on NMs would then help advance the use of NMs in electronic components, intelligent detecting, communication system, bioengineering, environmental recognition, and defense safety while also removing the specialized barrier that currently exists in the creation of practical equipment [14–17]. On the other hand, investigation is still being done on the effectiveness and use of functional products created of low-dimensional materials. Equipment creation and production, material and instrument efficiency management, and commercialization are still insufficient. As a result, there is a pressing requirement for additional study on low-dimensional material device applications in the modern world.

This chapter has a detailed discussion of the fundamentals of multifunctional NMs using various methods with particular emphasis on their features, as well as their forms, assets, and implementations. The material-specific characteristics are revealed to be size dependent at the nanoscale. As a result, based on the formation mechanism used, the sample’s structural, electrical, optical, and morphological features exhibit distinct behavior, which may be extremely tailored for the gadget characteristics. The special optoelectronics’ relevance of FNMs, in particular, the zero-dimensional (0D), one-dimensional (1D), two-dimensional (2D), and three-dimensional (3D), was discussed in with their latest condition and capability to meet the criteria for next-generation optoelectronics. Finally, the challenges and future perspectives...
