Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Current material advances have entrenched polymeric carbon nanomaterials as the rapidly emerging interface across a diversity of functional materials for flexible electronics, sensors, biotechnology, catalysis, energy storage, and conversion. Rational design of polymeric carbon nanostructures (PCNs) enriched with well-orderedgeometry as well as superiorelectrical, optical, and mechanical properties. The amalgamation of polymeric carbon nanostructures with metals, inorganic semiconductors etc. have been endowed with multiple functionalities.
This Special Issue on “Polymeric Carbon Nanomaterials in Energy and Environmental Remediation” will address advances in experimental aspects of the synthesis, processing, characterization and possible application in catalysis, water splitting, energy conversion and storage devices, environmental remedy etc.
This Special Issue, entitled "Women in Polymer Science and Technology: Polymeric Carbon Nanomaterials in Energy and Environmental Remediation”, invites submissions by women and men working together with the aim of fighting the inequalities faced by women in the scientific field and also recognizing women’s abilities and their contributions to science. Topics of interest for publication in this Special Issue include but are not limited to:
- Semiconducting polymers
- 2D polymeric materials (Graphitic carbon nitrides/ Covalent organic frameworks/ metal organic frameworks)
- Nanocomposites
- Photocatalysis
- Novel approaches for the fabrication of polymeric carbon nanomaterials
- Polymeric carbon in Photovoltaic Conversion
- Polymeric carbon in Energy Storage Devices (Batteries & Supercapacitors)
- Polymeric carbon nanostructures for pollutant degradation
- Polymeric carbon nanostructures in photo and electrochemical CO2 reduction
This Focus Issue collects original research, comprehensive review papers, as well as communications from research groups with diverse backgrounds in polymeric carbon nanomaterials to discuss all aspects of energy conversion and storage devices, environmental remediation applications.

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. Polymers 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 2700 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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- Reprint: MDPI Books provides the opportunity to republish successful Special Issues in book format, both online and in print.
