Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Following the successful first edition of this Special Issue of Crystals, we are pleased to announce that submissions to its second edition, entitled " Advanced Technologies in Graphene-Based Materials (2nd Edition)", are now being accepted.
Graphene-based materials, such as monolayer graphene, carbon nanotubes, graphene oxide and reduced graphene oxide, as well as functionalized versions of all these, are an essential part of innovative technologies relevant to the development of many fields of industry. The use of graphene-based nanostructures or their nanocomposites with specific physicochemical properties could promote technological progress in electronics, catalysis, biosensors, biomedicine, and many other areas that can improve the quality of human life. Due to the broad and diverse range of potential applications of graphene-based materials, the development of new synthesis and functionalization pathways, reliable characterization, and a better understanding of the structure-property relationships in materials are rightfully considered to be critical scientific issues. Scientific research dealing with the synthesis, functionalization, and characterization of graphene-based materials will contribute positively to the development of future technologies.
The scope of this Special Issue of Crystals, entitled “Advanced Technologies in Graphene-Based Materials”, includes, but is not limited to, the preparation and functionalization routes, characterization, and application of graphene-based materials, as well as their nanocomposite materials that are important in the fields of electronics, energy storage, and biomedicine, among others. We would like to invite researchers to submit work in the form of an original research article or a review paper related to the new synthesis methods of graphene-based nanomaterials, and their prospects in the different fields of application.

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. Crystals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2100 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.
