Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
In recent decades, interdisciplinary studies related to carbon-based nanomaterials have facilitated approaching the stage of industrial practical use. Functional materials composed of carbon include ordered and disordered solid-state low-dimensional nanomaterials composed of carbon elements, i.e., sphere nanoparticles, nanorods, nanotubes, nanosheets, etc. These carbon-based nanomaterials have been actively researched academically and industrially in structural and physical properties, self-assembly, alignment structure, and functionality of surface modification for practical industrial applications. Based on their sp2 hybridized carbon systems, fullerene (0-dimensional material), carbon nanofiber and carbon nanotube (1-dimensional material), and graphene (2-dimensional material) have excellent electrical conductivity, strong mechanical properties, high thermal stability, and excellent chemical functionality due to conjugated double bonds. In addition, as non-sp2 hybridized carbon systems, carbon black, porous carbon, and activated carbon have advantages in cost-effectiveness and high specific surface area, which have therefore been used in practical industrial applications for several decades.
It is my pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript to the Molecules Special Issue “Carbon-Based Advanced Nanomaterials”. We are particularly interested in advances in the science of polymer composites considering low-dimensional synthetic and natural nanomaterials for broad applications in thermal and electrical conductive materials, nanocomposites with superior mechanical properties, energy-related devices, membranes, thin films, and biomedical applications. Potential specific topics include but are not limited to the following:
Synthesis of carbon-based nanomaterials;
Surface chemistry of advanced carbon materials;
Carbon nanomaterial–polymer composites;
High-performance carbon-based anode materials for energy storage;
Carbon-based electrodes for nanoelectronics;
Carbon-based high-efficiency photovoltaic devices;
Biomedical applications in tissue engineering, antibacterial surfaces, drug delivery, etc.
We look forward to receiving submissions on your excellent carbon-based research work.

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. Molecules 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.
