Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Research on carbon-based nanomaterials, including carbon nanotubes, graphene and its derivatives, nano-diamonds, fullerenes, and other nano-sized carbon allotropes, has seen remarkable growth in recent years. The ability to modify and tailor these materials at the nanoscale—approaching the size of fundamental biomolecules—opens up a world of possibilities. With their large specific surface area, excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, unique optical properties, and superior mechanical strength, carbon-based nanomaterials have become essential in various advanced applications.
This Special Issue is dedicated to showcasing original research and review articles on the latest developments in carbon-based nanomaterials. We aim to explore new processing techniques, innovative testing methods, and cutting-edge applications. Contributions highlighting novel surface modifications that tailor the physicochemical properties of these nanomaterials are particularly welcome.
We encourage submissions focusing on a broad range of applications, including but not limited to the following:
- Electronics: Graphene in flexible electronics, carbon nanotubes in molecular recognition, etc.
- Energy Storage and Conversion: Fullerene derivatives in solar energy scavenging, graphene-based materials in supercapacitors, etc.
- Biomedicine: Carbon or graphene quantum dots in bioimaging and sensing, nano-diamonds in super-resolution imaging and nanoscale temperature sensing, etc.
- Sensing and Diagnostics: Advanced carbon-based sensors for environmental monitoring, medical diagnostics, etc.
This Special Issue seeks to become a key reference for the scientific community working on both the fundamental research and applied innovations of carbon nanomaterials. By bringing together contributions from leading experts in the field, we hope to reflect the diversity of carbon nanomaterials and the wide range of strategies being developed to enhance their performance across different domains.
Submit your original work and join us in advancing the frontier of carbon-based nanomaterial research!
