Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Owing to their unique chemical and morphological properties, carbon-based nanomaterials such as graphene, graphene oxide, carbon nanotubes, and carbon-based quantum dots have diverse applications. Compositing carbon-based nanomaterials with metals or non-metals oxides and hydroxides substantially improve or introduce novel properties. Carbon-based nano-composites are used for energy storage and conversion applications. The environmental applications include their use as adsorbents, catalysts, antimicrobial agents, environmental sensors, high flux membranes, and depth filters. The biomedical application covers their use in drug delivery, biomedical imaging, biosensors, tissue engineering, and cancer therapy.
This Special Issue of Nanomaterials will be a collection of groundbreaking research on energy, environmental, and biomedical applications of carbon-based nanomaterials/composites. The types of contributions include full-length research articles, review articles, and short communications.

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.
