Engineering Carbon-Based Nanostructures

Dear colleagues,

Engineering carbon-based nanostructures is essential to invariably surpass the vulnerabilities of the individual carbon nanoparticles such as graphene, fullerene, and carbon nanotubes. Constructing new building blocks of carbon-based nanostructures can achieve structurally dependent light-matter interactions and manipulate the electronics configuration and specific surface area in the fields of optoelectronics, energy generation and storage, and environmental technology. In this regard, carbon-based nanostructures can be achieved by manipulating intra/intermolecular interactions such as van der Waals forces, capillary forces, or external electric fields.

Therefore, this Special Issue seeks highly valuable research papers and review articles that describe the construction of carbon-based nanostructures by novel design, fabrication, and modelling of 2D and 3D nanostructures in interdisciplinary fields such as skin electronics, optoelectronics devices, battery, supercapacitors, drug delivery, disease treatment, etc.

We look forward to receiving your submissions.

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. Micromachines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
