| description | Over the last ten years, the discovery of topological materials has opened up new areas in condensed matter physics. These materials are noted for their distinctive electronic properties, unlike conventional insulators and metals. This discovery has not only spurred new research areas but also offered innovative approaches to electronic device design. A key aspect of these materials is now that transforming them into nanostructures enhances the presence of surface or edge states, which are the key components for their unique electronic properties. In this review, we focus on recent synthesis methods, including vapor–liquid–solid (VLS) growth, chemical vapor deposition (CVD), and chemical conversion techniques. Moreover, the scaling down of topological nanomaterials has revealed new electronic and magnetic properties due to quantum confinement. This review covers their synthesis methods and the outcomes of topological nanomaterials and applications, including quantum computing, spintronics, and interconnects. Finally, we address the materials and synthesis challenges that need to be resolved prior to the practical application of topological nanomaterials in advanced electronic devices. |
