Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Carbon materials comprise carbonallotropes with different spatial arrangements of carbon atoms, mainly consisting in fullerenes (0D), carbon nanotubes (1D), graphene (2D), and graphite/diamond (3D), with other systems consisting in quasi-spherical graphene structures (graphene quantum dots), elongated strips of graphene (carbon nanoribbons), and rolled graphene sheets with a closed horn-shaped tip (carbon nanohorns).
Carbon materials have attracted a great amount of interest by virtue of their excellent mechanical, thermal, and optical properties, as well as high biocompatibility after tailored surface functionalization. Carbon materials are widely applied for energy storage, hydrogen storage, electrochemical supercapacitors, field-emitting devices, transistors, nanoprobes and sensors, composite material, and engineered materials for biomedical applications (e.g., drug delivery and tissue engineering).
This Special Issue aims to collect research or review articles focused on the synthesis, characterization, and functionalization of carbon materials from a multidisciplinary point of view, coupling knowledge in chemistry, physics, engineering, and material science but also biology and medicine, to highlight recent advances in the field and act as a platform for knowledge exchange.

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. Solids is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1000 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.
