Abstract: The current review paper provides an overview of our recent achievements in the field of CNHs, along with a summary of several significant properties and applications. Carbon nanoforms are conical horn-shaped nanostructures composed of sp2 carbon atoms. Carbon Nano horns have gained significant attention in the field of nanomaterials due to their versatibility, high purity, ability to modulate chemical, physical and electronic properties and potential applications. The properties of Carbon nanohorm include a high surface area, excellent mechanical strength, good electrical and thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity and porosity. These properties make carbon nanohorns suitable for various applications such as gas storage media, support for the catalyst, in energy applications, transporters in the pharmaceutical delivery system, Adsorption, Magnetic Resonance Analysis, in gas sensing, in photodynamic therapy, in electrochemistry, in fuel cells, bio sensing application, as a photo electrochemical and photovoltaic cells. In recent years, there has been extensive research on carbon nanohorns and their applications. This review article focuses on overview of the properties and applications of carbon nanohorns. It covers various topics including the physical properties and applications of carbon nanohorns in different fields.

Keywords: Carbon nanohorn, properties, applications, thermal conductivity.
