Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Graphene-based films and coatings attracts tremendous interest in many potential applications due to their exceptional thermal stability, impermeability, electrical conductivity, and mechanical robustness. Strong attention has been paid to the critical analysis of fabrication, processing methodology, the interfacial modification approach, and the applications of this novel and new class material. Despite notable progress, challenges such as dispersion uniformity, large-scale processability, and long-term stability remain urgent and significant issues.
This Special Issue focus on the fabrication, interfacial modification, and novel applications of graphene-based films and coatings across various fields, including but not limited to energy storage, chemical sensing, corrosion protection, gas storage and separation, electrode materials, photoelectrocatalysis, oil/water separation, drug delivery, and so on.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Nanomaterials 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 2400 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.
