Cutting-Edge Technologies Developed from Carbon-Based Nanomaterials for Sensing, Treatment and Synthesis of (In)organic Molecules

Dear Colleagues,

Carbon-based nanomaterials—nanotubes, graphene, nanofibers, fullerene, quantum dots, etc.— are a remarkable scientific innovation, which are being increasingly used in various industries. Their rise can be attributed to a myriad of fascinating qualities, including high electrical and thermal conductivity, chemical stability, optical properties, electrocatalytic effects, high surface-to-volume ratio, and good biocompatibility. These nanomaterials can be used as a reaction interface after chemical or biological functionalization, as well as fillers to add new properties to (nano)composites, expanding the spectrum of possible applications. Recently, the use of 0D-3D nanostructured carbon allotropes have furthered the development of cutting-edge technologies in several fields, such as environment, agriculture, energy, pharmacology, and medicine.

This Special Issue aims to collate original research papers, review articles, communications, as well as short notes that focus on new (experimental or theoretical) advancements, challenges, and outlooks concerning production, characterization, and application of carbon-based nanomaterials for the analysis, treatment and synthesis of (in)organic molecules.

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.
