Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the past few decades, carbon nanomaterials (CNMs) of various dimensions (0D–3D) have attracted tremendous attention and are being extensively investigated. This is because CNMs have wide application prospects in many fields thanks to their multidimensional and multifariously tailored structures, as well as their suitable mechanical, electric and magnetic, physical, and chemical properties. The typical functional applications of CNMs include constructing composites, sensing, energy storage and conversion, microwave absorption, catalysis or catalysis support, etc. Previous studies indicated that the application performance of CNMs is far superior to that of traditional carbon materials and corroborated that their performance was strongly dependent on the processing, unique structure, and specific properties. Research in this field is currently flourishing.
With the goal of further exploring the functional applications of CNMs and understanding the application principle, we are launching this Special Issue on “Carbon Nanomaterials for Functional Applications: Processing, Structure, and Properties”. Studies on all kinds of CNMs are invited which focus on novel fabrication methods or synthesis routes, structure control and characterization, property analysis, and functional applications. You are welcome to submit full papers, communications, and/or reviews to this Special Issue.

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. Materials 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 2600 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.
