Interests: chemistry of materials, nanomaterials, carbon materials—synthesis, modification, and characterization; instrumental methods (SEM, TEM, AFM, IR, Raman, EDX, and techniques combined micro-IR, micro-Raman, SEM-EDX, TEM-EDX) in the study of materials, especially nanomaterials
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Flagship carbon nanomaterials with fullerenes, nanotubes, and graphene enjoy unflagging interest. Currently, many studies are at the stage of dedicated modifications and are searching for advanced applications for these nanomaterials. This Special Issue will be an international forum to share the achievements of novelty materials specialists. Feel free to submit original manuscripts on the synthesis, modification, and characterization of carbon nanomaterials and their composites, with particular emphasis on searching for their applications. The following are some specific topics that we are interested in: carbon nanomaterials as electrode materials, both as a main component and as composite components; characterization of novel carbon materials, particularly, for use in a sodium-ion battery (SIB); defects in the structure of carbon nanomaterials, particularly, defects observed in Raman spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM); modeling of defects in the structure of graphene and confrontation theoretical results with the experiment.

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.
