Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Carbon is a vital element due to its unique properties. Carbon nanomaterials (e.g., carbon nanotubes, graphene, graphdiyne, biomass-derived carbon, etc.) play a crucial role in a wide array of advanced technologies, particularly in energy storage and conversion applications. Their distinctive structures, high surface areas, and outstanding electrical conductivity make them ideal candidates for enhancing the performance of batteries, supercapacitors, and catalysts. Furthermore, by chemically modifying or structurally tailoring these carbon nanomaterials, or by integrating them with other inorganic or organic advanced materials, a diverse range of carbon-based nanomaterials and nanocomposites can be developed, significantly broadening their structural diversity, physical and chemical properties, and potential applications.
This Special Issue aims to collect research on novel carbon-based nanomaterials and nanocomposites, with a particular emphasis on their preparation, properties, and applications in energy storage and conversion (such as batteries, supercapacitors, and catalysts). Research papers, reviews, and short communications on these topics are highly encouraged.

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 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.
