Carbon Nanotubes and Nanosheets for Sustainable Solutions

Dear Colleagues,

This is a broader continuation of the Special Issue in MDPI Nanomaterials “70th Year Anniversary of Carbon Nanotube Discovery - Focus on Real World Solutions”.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and nanosheets (graphene) are well known for their current applications in: (1) durable battery electrodes, (2) optical/thermal nanodevices, (3) nanoscale reinforcement for strong and conductive hybrid nanocomposites, (4) ultrahigh-performance CPUs for quantum computing, (5) anti-fouling eco-friendly coatings, (6) high-efficiency recoverable and reusable catalysts and adsorbents, (7) nerve repair, (8) anti-oxidant particles combating oxidative stress, and (9) potent drug delivery.

Sustainable solutions include: energy harvesting (1) or conversion (2), ultra-strong multifunctional components (3), high-performance and secure computing and data processing (4), cost-saving green coatings (5), systematic material recovery and reuse (6), tissue regeneration (7), gradual ageing (8), and vaccines (9).

Very interestingly and inevitably in science today, many inorganic non-carbon-based nanotubes and nanosheets are also emerging as credible competitors of CNTs and graphene in this arena. These inorganic non-carbon-based nanomaterials can be tailor-synthesized and niche-applied with relative ease and are also quite durable.

The contributions sought are not limited to the above scope, and are inclusive of all forms of inorganic or carbon nanotubes and nanosheets.

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-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.
