Novel magnetic carbon nano-materials have attracted great interest in recent years due to their potential applications in many areas that exploit the combined advantage of magnetic with nano-scale properties. These materials are suitable for the catalysis, adsorption, carbon capture, energy and hydrogen storage, drug delivery, bio-sensing and cancer detection. This is due to some of amazing properties that allow them to be utilized multiple functionalities including high porosity, distinguished structures, uniform morphologies, high stability, high magnetic properties and high conductivity. This paper provides a comprehensive summary of promising methods for synthesis of magnetic carbon nano-materials and their applications.
