Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Carbon dots (C-dots) represent an emerging class of nanoemitters that show interesting optical properties often combined with remarkable resistance to photobleaching. They are very promising for applications related to energy storage and conversion, photocatalysis, bioimaging, biosensing, photothermal therapy, antimicrobials, nanoforensics, fertilisers, and plant growth promoters.
This Special Issue welcomes research articles and review papers on all aspects of C-dots. Potential topics include, but are not limited, to the following:
- Synthesis and characterization of C-dots;
- Polymer nanocomposites based on C-dots;
- Powder compositions and coatings comprising C-dots;
- Biomedical, antimicrobial, agricultural, forensic, and energy-related applications of C-dots.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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-blind 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 2900 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.
