Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Starting in ancient times, when carbons were used as wound powder, through the last century, the discovery of nanostructured carbons as e.g., fullerenes, nanotubes, and graphene—an exponential advance in the science involving nanocarbons—has attracted a great deal of attention from the research community. These materials, which last for years, offer the promise of “properties-by-design” toward numerous, everyday practical applications, from electronics to medicine. Due to their remarkable properties, such as high stability and the ability to formulate different compounds due to various hybridizations, carbon nanomaterials are a topic of scientific interest in several fields of research.
The present Special Issue will focus on the most recent advances in the research on novel carbons and their wide applications. Topics related to all kind of carbonaceous nanomaterials, such as nanodiamond, graphite and graphene oxide, graphene and its derivatives, fullerenes, nano-onions, nanohorns, and nanotubes harnessed in all kinds of catalysis including electro- and photocatalysis, are welcome.
I invite scholars involved in theoretical studies, synthesis and characterization methods, physicochemical properties, engineering and applications, and other research areas to contribute original research papers, as well as review articles, to this Special Issue in order to give the readers of Nanomaterials a new perspective on these versatile and useful materials.

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. Nanomaterials 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 2900 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.
