Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Carbon allotropes show various structures, ranging from three-dimensional, two-dimensional, to one-dimensional (1D), and electrical conductance ranges from conductor, semiconductor, to insulator. One-dimensional allotropes of carbon, e.g., carbon nanotubes, graphene nanoribbons, and carbon chains, demonstrate carbon materials with superior properties, leading to the development of cutting-edge studies of low-dimensional materials. Although their synthesis, properties, and applications have been extensively studied previously, scientists are still faced with an increasing number of challenges. For example, the precision and/or large-scale synthesis of 1D carbon allotropes with specific structures are still under exploration, including single-chiral carbon nanotubes, edge-defined graphene nanoribbons, length-controlled carbon chains, etc.
This Special Issue aims to present comprehensive research outlining progress on the preparation, properties, and applications of 1D carbon nanomaterials. We invite authors to contribute original research articles and review articles covering the current progress made on 1D carbon nanomaterials. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Precision or large-scale synthesis of 1D carbon nanomaterials, e.g., carbon nanotubes, graphene nanoribbons, carbyne;
- Applications of 1D carbon nanomaterials;
- Heterostructures of 1D carbon nanomaterials;
- Carbon-nanotube encapsulation;
- Theoretical simulation and/or calculation on the structures and/or properties of 1D carbon nanomaterials;
- Polyyne, cumulene, and cyclo[n]carbon;
- Other 1D carbon nanomaterials, e.g., carbon fiber and carbon wire.

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. 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 2900 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.
