Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the years, the properties and functionalities of materials have been upgraded through the incorporation of novel components and nanostructures, which potentialize their performances in a continuously growing array of applications. As an example of carbon-based nanostructures, such as carbon nanotubes, fullerenes, carbon quantum dots, and graphene, graphyne has attracted great attention due to the unique properties it possesses, which are related to the combination of sp and sp2 bonding centres (hybridization) in the 2D nanostructure. Like its congeners, grahyne has brought about exciting improvements when associated with different classes of materials. These improvements have encouraged research devoted to the development of the properties of graphyne and materials containing graphyne and graphyne family members (GFMs). This Special Issue of Materials focuses on the publication of top-quality experimental and theoretical research devoted to the study and development of graphyne and graphyne-based materials, in which this association brings irrefutable improvement governed by the special properties of graphyne, leading to its relevant application in different fields.
Thus, it is my pleasure to invite scientists from different research fields to submit manuscripts to this Special Issue. Full papers, communications, and reviews are all 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. Materials 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 2600 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.
