Abstract
Magnetism in low-dimensional carbon materials, which is crucial for the realization of the physical properties, potential application, and development of carbon-based spintronic devices, has attracted extensive attention. In this Review, three typical low-dimensional carbon materials, including carbon nanotubes, graphene, and graphdiyne, are used to exhibit the research progress of a magnetic two-dimensional (2D) carbon material preparation strategy, the introduction of the local magnetic moment, and the resulting unique magnetic properties. The convenient and facile preparation methods of carbon-based magnetic materials have been introduced on the basis of their structural characteristics, especially for the advantageous structures and efficient chemical modification in graphene and graphdiyne. Various interesting ways, such as transition metal atom doping and nonmetal atom modification, have been exhibited to tune the electromagnetic characteristics of carbon-based materials. All those research studies provide a theoretical basis to promote the application of 2D carbon-based magnetic materials in spintronic devices involving spin and charge modulation and lay a foundation for the preparation of high-performance carbon-based magnetic materials with specific magnetic properties.
