Synthesis and Characterization of Nanocarbon Materials

Dear Colleagues,

Since the discovery of various nanocarbon materials, few materials have been actively studied in harmony with basic research and application fields such as nanocarbon materials. In recent decades, breakthrough discoveries have been made that suggest novel methods of synthesizing these nanocarbon materials and solve the problems that must be solved to achieve application to various applications. Among them, mass production is essential for industrialization. In general, mass synthesis of materials presents a number of challenges. For nanomaterials, these limited technical issues are more pronounced. Additionally, the development of new synthetic methods which is suitable for each application purpose is an important issue. In the case of carbon nanotubes and graphene, which are representative of nanocarbons, various synthesis methods have been developed recently, and mass production and industrialization are being accelerated. By organizing the issues of the mass synthesis method of these nanocarbon materials and suggesting a new synthesis method, we will consider what factors are necessary for future industrialization.

The novel analysis method of synthesized nanocarbon material is also a very important topic, studies on which are to be applied to various application fields. Characterization methods that can express new properties, or innovative methods that replace existing properties measurement methods, are essential for overcoming material limitations.

This Special Issue highlights and discusses novel synthesis methods and mass production methods and properties of these nanocarbon materials.

It is my pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript to this Special Issue. Full papers, communications, and reviews are all welcome.
