Special Issue Information
Dear Collegues,
The increasing interest in carbon-based materials, especially nanomaterials such as graphene, carbon nanotubes, or other two-dimensional structures and their implementation as hybrid materials in composites, exhibiting excellent electrical, mechanical, and also thermal properties, entail their vast possibilities of applications. Just mentioning the universality and ubiquity of portable electronic devices or boosting the need for electric vehicles, one only endorses the use of those multiscale materials providing fast energy conversion or their safe and efficient storage. The recent escalation of the nanotubes and graphene application as energy storage materials, such as in supercapacitors and the development of lithium battery technology or optoelectronics, as photovoltaic elements prove the further exploration of carbon-based mixed materials.
This Special Issue aims to cover the current advances in carbon materials, both bulk, low-dimensional structures, and composites with fillers/matrix of carbon origin. Realizing carbon-based nanomaterials towards their high potential for applications and integration into particular systems/devices involves a tremendous amount of effort not only in the synthesis process but subsequently in their detailed characterization. With the evolving technologies, the answers to the description of improved new materials—from structure and properties determination—through advanced functionalization, further their implementation up to possible applications due to their technical features are welcomed, not limited solely to the keywords of this Special Issue.
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. 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.
