Roles of Low-Dimensional Nanomaterials in Pursuing Human-Machine-Thing Natural Interaction

Abstract

A wide variety of low-dimensional nanomaterials with excellent properties can meet almost all the requirements of functional materials for information sensing, processing, and feedback devices. Low-dimensional nanomaterials are becoming the star of hope on the road to pursuing human-machine-thing natural interactions, benefiting from the breakthroughs in precise preparation, performance regulation, structural design, and device construction in recent years. This review summarizes several types of low-dimensional nanomaterials commonly used in human-machine-thing natural interactions and outlines the differences in properties and application areas of different materials. According to the sequence of information flow in the human-machine-thing interaction process, the representative research progress of low-dimensional nanomaterials-based information sensing, processing, and feedback devices is reviewed and the key roles played by low-dimensional nanomaterials are discussed. Finally, the development trends and existing challenges of low-dimensional nanomaterials in the field of human-machine-thing natural interaction technology are discussed.
