Carbonaceous Materials: Fabrication, Characterization and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Because of their adaptability and range of uses, carbonaceous materials have revolutionized the field of materials science. Our Special Issue focuses on the latest advancements in the synthesis and characterization of carbonaceous materials, which are unique in their morphology and properties for application various purposes. Carbonaceous materials such as biochar, carbon nanotubes, graphene, fullerene, activated carbon, and cyclodextrin polymers demonstrate superior performance in multiple applications.

We invite researchers to contribute their original research articles, communications, and reviews to this Special Issue. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Novel methods and techniques for the synthesis and fabrication of carbonaceous materials;
• Modification of the carbonaceous materials; composites, and hybrids with tailored properties;
• Presenting advanced techniques and tools for characterizing the structure and properties of carbonaceous materials, providing insights into their behavior in different environments;
• Carbonaceous materials for the membrane separation process;
• Carbonaceous materials for the removal of pollutants from water and wastewater;
• Applications of carbonaceous materials in fields such as agriculture, energy storage, CO₂ capture, and more.

We hope this Special Issue will inspire further research on the fabrication of novel carbonaceous materials. We also aim to propose efficient and sustainable methods for modifying materials to enhance their performance.

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. 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.
