Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Novel trending smart carbon-based nanomaterials, carbon dots (CDs), carbon-based 0-dimensional fluorescent materials, and graphene-based hybrid composites with a cost-effective fabrication mechanism, as well as a wide range of raw materials with excellent physical, chemical, optical, and electrical properties, have attracted the attention of many researchers in recent years because of their stable and adjustable photoluminescence behaviors, good biocompatibility, and abundant surface defects. Hybrid carbon-based nanocomposites with suitable physical properties can expand the application scope of CDs, make up for the limitations of single-component CDs in applications, improve the application performance of inorganic nanomaterials, and enhance the versatility of inorganic nanomaterials. These novel composites have been widely utilized in bioimaging, biosensing, catalysis, biology, and optoelectronics.
In this Special Issue, we will focus on brand-new assessment techniques to elucidate the unique functions of CDs in composition regulation, structural fabrication, surface modification, and host–guest interactions in electrocatalysis and ultimately to establish the relationships among structure, composition, and activity. Indeed, the volume will focus on common themes and multidisciplinary expertise in physics, chemistry, biology, materials science, biotechnology, and chemical nanoengineering.

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.
