Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanoporous materials have a nanoscale pore size, which causes them to have a high specific surface area, excellent electrical conductivity, physical and chemical stability, gas–liquid permeability, a pore structure that can be regulated, and other advantages, so they show great application prospects in the fields of energy storage and conversion, catalysis, adsorption, and separation.
Porous carbon nanomaterials are commonly used as catalysts. Compared with traditional catalyst carriers, the pore structure is regular and controllable, and the connecting holes between the pores are small. A catalyst is restricted in pores after loading, and it is not easy to agglomerate, which significantly improves the catalyst’s life. The required pore structure can also be accurately designed according to the size of the reactants and products to facilitate the entry and exit of reactants and products, which can significantly improve catalytic efficiency. In addition, porous carbon can also be used as a nonmetallic catalyst, such as nitrogen-doped porous carbon materials, which have catalytic activity in many reactions, and its application in oxidation, electrocatalysis, and acetylene hydrochlorination has been widely examined.
This Special Issue aims to collect the most recent progress and new developments in the design, synthesis, and characterization of porous carbon nanomaterials, as well as their catalytic applications. In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome.
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 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.
