Development and Applications of Advanced Carbon Materials – 2nd Volume

Dear Colleagues,

After the success of the first issue, we have decided to continue with a second one about this exciting and interesting topic.

Advanced carbon materials represent one of the most interesting classes of materials due to their potential and current applications in electronic devices and electrodes, high-performance coatings, as well as heterogeneous catalysts, catalyst support, adsorbents or electro-catalysts. They can be synthesized from different raw materials with high purity, they can be doped with other atoms and can even be incorporated into innovative carbon-based composites, be printed as inks or included in/on monolithic structures. Their textural and chemical characteristics can be tuned with subtle modifications of the experimental synthesis conditions depending on the specific application required. In addition to graphene or carbon quantum dots, carbon gels, carbon nanotubes, nanohorns, nanofibers, fullerenes, derivative materials from 3D printing and carbon-based composites can be considered advanced carbon materials when they are synthesized and/or functionalized specifically for a target application.

This Special Issue will continue to focus on the recent developments of advanced carbon materials and their design, preparation and/or applications. Synthesis procedures, characterization techniques and any type of applications for these fascinating materials will be covered.

It is our pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript for this Special Issue. Full papers, short communications and reviews are welcome.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
