Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Carbon nanomaterials have attracted increasing attention in the last few decades, and they and are being extensively investigated due to their peculiar properties. Carbon nanomaterials are well-suited for a wide number of applications thanks to their remarkable physicochemical, optical, electronic, and electrical properties. The typical functional applications of carbon nanomaterials span from energy storage and conversion and catalysis support to the production of advanced sensors, drug delivery, and many more.
We are launching this Special Issue with the aim of further exploring the synthesis methods and functional applications of different carbon nanomaterials. This Special Issue covers the latest progress in the production of different nanocarbon materials (nanodiamonds, fullerenes, nanotubes, graphene, carbon dots, soot particles, etc.), with a special focus on high-temperature routes and particularly flame synthesis. Studies on all the different ex situ and in situ characterization techniques for structure control, property analysis, and functional applications of these nanomaterials are welcome.
Full papers, communications, and reviews covering these subjects are welcome.

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. Applied Sciences 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.
