Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
I am very pleased to invite you to submit your work to the Special Issue on “Performance improvement strategies for graphene oxide and carbon nanotubes-based composites”.
Graphene and carbon nanotubes belong to a broad family of carbon nanomaterials which exhibit exceptional properties such as high surface area, high electrical conductivity, or superior mechanical strength, to name just a few. Such interesting properties have sparked increasing development of devices over the last decades. However, despite the efforts devoted to boosting device performances, many aspects still need to be understood.
The objective of this Special Issue is to serve as an avenue to leading researchers to exchange and share their strategies for performance improvement of graphene oxide and carbon nanotubes-based composites in a broad spectrum of applications including energy storage, CO2 capture, water treatment, biomedicine etc.
The scope of the Special Issue includes, but is not limited to:
- Effect of graphene oxide characteristics such as parent graphite, oxidation degree, synthesis method, reduction degree, reduction method
- Effect of carbon nanotube characteristics such as number of walls, length, diameter
- Effect of carbon nanomaterial loading to the composite and ratio graphene oxide / carbon nanotube
- Effect of the decoration with nanoparticles of the composite
- Effect of thermal post-treatment of the composite

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.
