Micro/Nanofabrication of Carbon-Based Devices and Their Applications

Dear Colleagues,

The Special Issue, ‘Micro/Nanofabrication of Carbon-Based Devices and Their Applications’, seeks to explore the diverse landscape of carbon allotropes and their innovative applications in micro- and nanoscale devices. Carbon, with its various allotropes such as graphene, carbon nanotube, glassy carbon, diamond, amorphous carbon, and quantum dots, presents a fascinating array of properties that can be finely tuned for specific functionalities. Recent microsystems and nano-engineering advancements have paved the way for harnessing these unique carbon structures in functional devices with applications across energy systems, sensors, actuators, environmental monitoring, and biomedical technology.

This Special Issue aims to compile original research articles, communications, and reviews that showcase the leading technological advancements in carbon micro-/nano-systems and their wide-ranging applications. We welcome both experimental and theoretical studies that shed light on the unprecedented operational demands of various applications. Additionally, we invite contributions that not only highlight the current state of the field but also address the need for further development to achieve superior and novel functionalities across different domains. Through this endeavour, this Special Issue aims to foster a comprehensive understanding of the potential of carbon-based micro-nanotechnology as a compelling alternative to conventional silicon-based MEMS technology. Furthermore, we seek to bring together researchers and experts to contribute to the ongoing evolution of carbon-based devices, shaping the future of micro- and nanofabrication technologies.

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-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. C is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1600 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.
