Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
During the last few decades, sustained efforts to develop innovative synthesis paths have resulted in a wide range of carbon nanostructures (such as carbon nanotubes, fullerenes, carbon horns, and graphenes), providing the resources for new nanocomposite materials with outstanding physical features for advanced applications in energy (production and storage), catalysis, and sensors. This endeavor has generated new emerging materials with multifunctional features (self-healing, shape memory) and led to the development of new applications. Recent research suggests a similar path for phosphorus and phosphorus-based nanoparticles and their nanocomposites. This Special Issue aims to provide a forum for the latest achievements made both in the fundamental and applied fields of nanomaterials and composite materials based on carbon and phosphorous.
We are pleased to invite you to submit original research articles and reviews to this issue.
Potential topics include but are not limited to:
- Composites based on various inorganic/organic/macromolecular compounds and carbon nanoparticles of the type carbon nanotubes, carbon nanohorns, graphene oxide, reduced graphene oxide, graphene quantum dots and fullerene;
- Phosphorene layers and black phosphorus quantum dots functionalized with macromolecular compounds;
- New aspects concerning the optical, electrical, structural and electrochemical properties of carbon and phosphorus nanoparticles as well as their composites;
- Graphene and phosphorene sheets modified with metallic nanoparticles as new surface-enhanced Raman scattering supports;
- Applications of carbon and phosphorus nanoparticle-based composites for energy storage (supercapacitors, batteries, fuel cells);
- Applications of carbon and phosphorus nanoparticles in the hydrogen production and storage field;
- Applications in the solar cells field and photocatalysis;
- Sensorial platforms based on composites containing the carbon or phosphorus nanoparticles.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
