Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Following its discovery in 2004, graphene stimulated unprecedented interest in academia and industry and among investors worldwide. The exceptional traits of this nanomaterial quickly made it a potential component for a plethora of applications, including energy, automobiles, healthcare, aerospace, and so forth. Over the span of two decades, a vast number of research articles have emerged, and the efforts to scale graphene for commercialization are occurring in a way that has not happened for any other material. That said, graphene has not yet fulfilled its promise or realized all its potential; there is still much to be undertaken in terms of scaling up, ensuring consistent quality production, and setting clear standards. In addition to its synthesis, further exploration of its novel properties is also warranted to meet the demands of emerging technologies. The emergence of computing approaches such as machine learning (or, in a broader sense, artificial intelligence) can be leveraged to harvest the true potential of graphene, accelerate further advancements, and foster its commercialization.
This Special Issue, entitled “Recent Advancements in Graphene Nanomaterials,” aims to bring the latest progress pertaining to graphene and will cover its structural exploration, electrical and optical properties, computational simulations, machine learning, applications of graphene in optoelectronics, surface catalysis, lubricants, coatings, sensors, energy storage and conversion (supercapacitors, batteries, water splitting, and solar cells), thermal management (such as phase change materials and thermal interface materials), biomedicine, water filtration technology, desalination, and photothermal applications.

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. Crystals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2100 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.
