The term “nanomaterials”, by general consensus, is used to designate both nano-objects and nanostructured materials. To qualify as a nanomaterial, the dimensions of an object or of a structural element of a macroscopic material must be less than about one hundred nanometers. In addition to this first, generic definition, a distinction is made between zero-dimensional nanoparticles (0D-NP); nanowires (NW) and nanotubes (NT), which are one-dimensional (1D-NP); nanosheets and multi-sheets, which are two-dimensional (2D-NP); and, finally, three-dimensional (3D) nanostructured materials. Further distinctions are made between these forms based on their material composition: carbonaceous, inorganic or hybrid.
