Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Carbon has three hybrid states, sp3, sp2, and sp, and various carbon allotropes can be formed through different hybrid states. For example, diamond can be formed by sp3 hybridization, and carbon nanotubes, fullerenes, graphyne, and graphene can be formed by sp3 hybridization with sp2. In fact, due to the influence of quantum size effect, small structural differences create the performance difference of C-based materials. C nanotubes, zero-dimensional C quantum dots (graphene quantum dots), quasi-one-dimensional C nanoribbons (graphene nanoribbons, graphylene nanoribbons, and fullerene nanoribbons), two-dimensional C materials (graphene, graphylene, fullerene network structures, etc.), and their composite structures (heterostructures, Medical treatment, microelectronics, and other fields have broad application prospects.
In general, the atomic structure of carbon nanomaterials and the interfacial interactions with other phase materials have important effects on the properties of carbon nanomaterials. Therefore, designing and functionalizing carbon nanomaterials at the nanoscale has become a popular strategy for achieving the properties required for specific applications. In addition, functional carbon nanomaterials with nanoscale properties have different physical and chemical properties, including chemical stability, good thermal conductivity, good mechanical properties, superconductivity, and improved optical properties. The current focus is on their basic research, experimental and theoretical problems, and practical topics, such as synthesis, growth methods, preparation methods, property modification, property modeling, spectral simulation, device property changes, and the construction of practical devices.
This Special Issue will focus on the synthesis, purification, sorting, functionalization, characterization, chemical and physical properties, applications, theory, and modeling of novel carbon nanostructures such as graphene, graphene nanoribbons, two-dimensional heterostructures, fullerenes, fullerenes 2D network structures, and graphene. The issue is designed to provide a comprehensive overview of recent and upcoming advances in the field to help researchers quickly identify the relevant publications of their own research on carbon nanostructures.

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.
