Advanced Carbon Nanostructures: Synthesis, Properties and Applications II

Dear Colleagues,

Interest in carbon nanomaterials has been rising for the past 20 years. The unique properties of carbon nanotubes, graphene, graphene nanoribbons, 2D heterostructures, fullerenes, nanodiamonds, filled carbon nanotubes, and related carbon nanostructures are realized in their applications. Current attention is focused on their fundamental research, experimental and theoretical issues and practical topics, such as synthesis, methods of growth, methods of preparation, modification of properties, modeling of properties, simulations of spectra, variation of properties in devices, and building practical devices. The properties of advanced nanostructures, such as optical, electronic, electrical, magnetic, transport, and mechanical properties, have attracted attention in experimental materials science. Kinetics of growth is interesting for fundamental and applied research. Activation energy and growth rates are measured for applications. Spectroscopic methods, such as Raman spectroscopy, near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy, photoemission spectroscopy, and optical absorption spectroscopy allow us to analyze these material properties. The electronic properties are most important for practical research, applications in electrochemistry, solar cells, sensors, composites, molecular electronics, catalysts, light emission, thermoelectric power generation, and medicine.This Special Issue will focus on the synthesis, purification, sorting, functionalization, characterization, chemical and physical properties, application, theory, and modeling of carbon nanotubes, graphene, graphene nanoribbons, 2D heterostructures, fullerenes, nanodiamonds, and other novel carbon nanostructures. The Issue is intended to provide a comprehensive overview of the recent and forthcoming progress in the field to help researchers to quickly find and identify related and relevant publications for their own work on carbon nanostructures.

We invite interested authors to submit their original experimental and theoretical papers, as well as review articles within the subject, for inclusion in this Special Issue, which will boost the visibility of their work.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Nanomaterials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
