Carbon Nanomaterials: Design and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

We are very interested in your research and wonder if you would like to submit your research for the Special Issue titled “Carbon Nanomaterials: Design and Applications”. Carbon nanomaterials are carbon materials with a dispersed phase scale of at least one dimension less than 100 nm, which possess many excellent properties and are expected to be used in a wide range of fields, such as structural and functionally enhanced composites, energy storage, photoelectric detection and conversion materials, and micro- and nano-electronic devices. Carbon nanomaterials are considered to be the most promising super nanomaterials for large-scale practical applications in the fields of lithium ion batteries, fuel cells, supercapacitors, solar cells, electrocatalysts, etc.

This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for researchers in the field of carbon nanomaterials to communicate and share. The papers to be submitted include original research papers, communications and reviews. The scope of acceptance includes, but is not limited to, the following areas:

• Highly efficient methods for preparation of carbon nanomaterials including carbon nanofiber; Mxene; graphene; porous carbon and their derivatives.
• Characterization of structures and chemistry of nanomaterials based on carbon nanomaterials.
• Design, modification and fabrication of carbon-based nanomaterials.
• Application progress of carbon nanomaterials in the field of new energy (lithium ion batteries, fuel cells, supercapacitors, solar cells, electrocatalyst, etc.).
• Application progress of carbon nanomaterials in the field of traditional areas (e.g. anti-corrosion coating and rubber and plastic field).
• Research progress of carbon nanomaterials in other composite materials.

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. Molecules 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 2700 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.
