Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

After our successful first two volumes of the Special Issue “Nanoarchitectonics in Materials Science,” we decided to produce an additional Special Issue on this topic. Nanotechnology is now evolving and paving the way for a new kind of materials science—nanoarchitectonics. Bottom-up approaches that generate functional materials via self-assembly of constituent molecules have been developed in several research fields. These approaches are often based on simple intermolecular interactions between a limited number of constituent elements. In a departure from these conventional approaches, nanoarchitectonics goes beyond well-known self-assembly and related strategies. Rather, it aims to build material structures that contain many components and asymmetric, hierarchical motifs. Because nanoarchitectonics is such an exhaustive conceptual interdisciplinary field, it can be applied to a wide range of research areas, including hybrid/composite synthesis, structural control, sensing, catalysis, environmental remediation, energy production and storage, device formation, biology, and medicine. These topics are the subject of this Special Issue.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue

  • Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
  • Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
  • Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
  • External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
  • e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.

The green production of nanocomposites holds great potential for the development of new materials. Graphene is an important class of carbon-based materials. Despite its high carrier mobility, it has low light absorption and is a zero-bandgap material. In order to tune the bandgap and improve the light absorption, S, N co-doped low-dimensional C/C nanocomposites with polymer and graphene oxide nanoribbons (the graphene oxide nanoribbons were prepared by open zipping of carbon nanotubes in a previous study) were synthesized by one-pot carbonization through dimensional-interface and phase-interface tailoring of nanocomposites in this paper. The resulting C/C nanocomposites were coated on untreated A4 printing paper and the optoelectronic properties were investigated. The results showed that the S, N co-doped C/C nanoribbon/carbon dot hybrid exhibited enhanced photocurrent signals of the typical 650, 808, 980, and 1064 nm light sources and rapid interfacial charge transfer compared to the N-doped counterpart. These results can be attributed to the introduction of lone electron pairs of S, N elements, resulting in more transition energy and the defect passivation of carbon materials. In addition, the nanocomposite also exhibited some electrical switching response to the applied strain. The photophysical and doping mechanisms are discussed. This study provides a facile and green chemical approach to prepare hybrid materials with external stimuli response and multifunctionality. It provides some valuable information for the design of C/C functional nanocomposites through dimensional-interface and phase-interface tailoring and the interdisciplinary applications. Full article
