Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Developing eco-friendly functional materials for energy, luminescence and information-storage applications is currently one of the most important challenges faced by scientists in the relevant fields. Carbon-based materials including C3N4, diamond, graphene, carbon nanotube, and carbon nanodot are biocompatible and have achieved great advances in the fields of energy conversion, catalysis, luminescence, antimicrobials, illumination and so on.
Carbon-based functional materials become very popular in modern society due to their nontoxic properties, low cost and versatility. This topic aims to collect the latest progress in carbon-based functional materials in every field. Original articles, research articles, perspectives, case studies and review papers are all welcome. Manuscripts should cover, but are not limited to, the following topics:
- Carbon-based luminescent materials;
- Novel routes for carbon-based functional materials;
- Carbon-based materials for energy production and storage;
- Carbon-based materials for catalysis;
- Carbon-based materials for lighting and displaying;
- Carbon-based antibacterial materials;
- Mechanism study of carbon-based materials;
- Structure and performance characterization.

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. Applied Sciences 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.
